There are a number of different types of legacies to choose from. Gifts in wills are an increasingly popular way of supporting the work of Keren Hayesod. People who are passionate about our cause have the chance to give exceptional gifts that can transform the future of the State of Israel and the Jewish People. Leaving a gift in your will is your way of promising to provide for the Jewish community after your lifetime and to have a large impact on the future by helping to secure the State of Israel and support its people.

By preparing a will, you ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. The absence of a will in some cases can lead to your estate being appropriated by the government where you live. Lack of planning can also lead to unnecessary taxation, Keren Hayesod’s Legacy and Foundations representative is available to help you. We can help you ensure that your will is distributed according to your wishes and that your bequest is used to meet Israel’s most pressing needs, exactly as you would want. Trained to address your concerns with professionalism and confidentiality, Keren Hayesod’s representatives will provide you with professional advice and guidance free of charge.

Your gift will help support Israel through Keren Hayesod’s many programs supporting Israelis and building the Jewish future. Your legacy may support Aliyah, rescue and immigrant absorption. You may choose to direct your support to educational projects focused on Israel’s disadvantaged youth, to activities that reinforce Israel’s border towns and periphery communities, and to providing care for the elderly. Your legacy gift may also go towards inspiring the next generation of Jews in the Diaspora through Jewish and Zionist education. Your legacy gift can address the issues that are most important and meaningful to you.

The legacy planning process can also inspire heartfelt conversations with your family and build bonds with your partners in the community.

The act of creating a legacy empowers you to complete the work of your heart and to enjoy the peace that that having a legacy brings. You are assured that your philanthropy will continue to secure a bright future for the Jewish People.

Creating a Jewish legacy involves a gift, but it starts with your vision.
