Life and Legacy: Giving for Tomorrow
“As my ancestors planted for me, so do I plant for future generations.”
- Taanit 23a
We thank you in advance for considering the option to leave a Legacy Gift to Shir Tikvah. Planning ahead for one's own death can be difficult, but it is also a time of reflection on your lifetime and the values you uphold.
Remembering Shir Tikvah in your will or trust, or through naming us a beneficiary in your retirement plan, means tangible support for the kehillah kedoshah (holy community) we have built together.

A Life and Legacy Story:
Our Limmud Scholarship Fund started with a bequest from our dear congregant Roz Levine (z"l).
Her $10,000 donation in 2011 was the seed from which that fund has continued to grow. Since then, the Limmud Fund has either partially or wholly covered Nashira Project tuition and Brit Mitzvah tutoring costs for at least 32 families. Today, no students are turned away for lack of funds to study.
