Legacy Circle

With gratitude, the Temple Israel Foundation acknowledges congregants who plan today for Jewish tomorrows by including the Foundation in their estate plans or by establishing an endowment fund. All gifts, regardless of the amount, are a testament to their vision and commitment to a strong and vibrant future for Temple.
