Support - Fundraising & Development

According to a well-known story in the Talmud, a man was asked why he was planting a carob tree when he would not live to see its fruits. He replied: “Just as my ancestors planted for me, I plant this tree for my descendants.”

At Temple Beth Abraham, we care deeply about each other, our community, and the broader world. Your generous support allows us to continue our important work now and create a lasting impact for generations to come.

Estate Planning
For 150 years Temple Beth Abraham members have given to us. So too must we continue to give on behalf of our children and grandchildren. Consider including Temple Beth Abraham in your estate planning, either through a gift in your will or a living trust, known as a charitable bequest. Charitable bequests help reduce inheritance taxes and allow your family and loved ones to see the legacy you have helped to create. Consult with an estate planning professional for details.

Appreciate Stock
By gifting appreciated stock, you may avoid capital gains taxes and receive a deduction for your donations. Consult with a financial planning professional for details.
