Honoring Our Legacy Society at L'dor V'dor Shabbat

September 2024

By Jonathan Friedman

At Temple Beth El, we understand that the essence of a thriving community lies not just in its present activities but also in the foresight of its commitment to the future. With immense pride and deep gratitude, we recognize the over 150 families who have linked their legacies with Temple Beth El’s through their after-lifetime commitments to support the congregation’s future.

Legacy giving allows donors to continue their support of Temple Beth El beyond their lifetimes and to be remembered. By establishing their legacy commitments, these families have demonstrated their trust and belief in the continuity of our mission to cultivate connected, proud, meaningful Jewish living that inspires change in our world, and our vision of a bold Jewish community of deep roots, sacred responsibility, and daring hope.

Temple Beth El’s upcoming L’dor V’dor Shabbat: A Celebration of our Legacy Society and New Member Welcome event will take place on Friday, Sept. 13 at 6:13 p.m. and will be followed by a special Oneg, generously supported by our partners at the Foundation for the Charlotte Jewish Community. It will be an opportunity not only to thank and honor our Legacy Society but also to welcome new families who are joining our vibrant community. This gathering epitomizes the spirit of l'dor v'dor — from generation to generation — highlighting the continuous thread of faith, commitment, and community that weaves through the fabric of Temple Beth El. It will be a tribute to how legacy giving sustains and inspires our congregation, ensuring that our sacred work thrives and adapts in an ever-evolving world.

We hope you will join us in recognizing and thanking this remarkable group and welcoming new members to the Temple Beth El family.
