2023 Heritage Society and Book of Life

Please Join Us. Create Your Legacy Today.

 

The Heritage Society pays tribute to individuals who have made a bequest or other planned gift to The Jewish Federations of North America. These gifts not only help to ensure that JFNA’s life-saving work will continue far beyond the lifetime of these donors, they also inspire others to commit themselves to the Jewish community in Israel, the United States and throughout the world. The Book of Life affords special recognition to Heritage Society members who have created a bequest or permanent endowment of at least $100,000 for JFNA. To learn more about creating your Jewish legacy, please contact Network@JewishFederations.org.
