L’Dor V’Dor Legacy Circle
Background: L’Dor V’Dor means “from generation to generation” in Hebrew. The L’Dor V’Dor Legacy Circle allows members of Beth El Hebrew Congregation to leave a gift in their will or trust, or by a beneficiary designation on their life insurance or retirement account, to benefit Beth El.

This is a legacy gift that will help ensure a vibrant future for our Congregation. Proceeds will continue to provide for the needs of future generations by maintaining the religious, educational, cultural, philanthropic activities and physical facilities at Beth El. All gifts will be received into the “Beth El Hebrew Congregation Permanent Endowment Fund” and will be managed by its Trustees. Download the Fact Sheet
