It is written in Ecclesiastes: For everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot that which is planted; …a time to keep and a time to cast away.

The cycle of life is inevitable. But the actions we take and the plans we make can have a profound difference in the quality of our lives, the life of our family, our community and our people.

Judaism has gifted us with deep spiritual insights and ceremonies to accompany us in life’s transitions. Our forebearers, throughout the generations, have also left us a rich culture of ideas and traditions to guide us in meeting life’s challenges.

One of the most beautiful and meaningful is the tradition of leaving a legacy for the future. From the biblical period to the modern period in our history, Jews have prepared beautiful and value laden documents in which they describe their hopes and prayers for the future of their loved ones and people.

In our time, ones’ promises and values are usually expressed by the way in which we distribute our assets.

Above all else, your Will defines your Legacy. If, in addition to providing for people whom you love you also choose to remember your community by making a commitment to Reform Jewish life and the future of our people, your legacy will be an example that will serve  as a model to others.

If you choose to make a legacy gift to Kamatz, it can function as a resource for vital and enriching programs for many years, if not generations to come.

A legacy gift will link your name to the future of our Reform community in Israel; a community which carries the banner of pluralism, social justice and peace as values we wish to transmit to our children and to the future of Israel.

Leave More than Memories. Leave a Legacy and Link your Name to the Jewish Future.

Kamatz is one address we hope will be a prominent one in your list of beneficiaries.

If you would like to consult with us about the many possibilities for making a legacy gift, whether it is a one-time bequest in your Will or a substantial bequest to establish a Fund making annual commitments in your name, please contact Rav Alona Nir-Keren by email: rav@kamatz.org
