What is your Am Shalom legacy?
In one way or another, your life is rooted in Jewish experiences connecting you to the Jewish community. By making a legacy commitment to Am Shalom—through your will or estate plan, or a gift to our endowment fund—you express values instilled in you by your parents, grandparents and loved ones, and you perpetuate the Jewish traditions that you cherish on to the next generation. Each of us, regardless of age or wealth, has the power to leave a legacy—one that fulfills our passions and dreams and also one that carries on the legacy of those who came before us.

As you consider your legacy, please consider the importance of Am Shalom to you and your family. Through the simple act of a planned gift, such as a bequest in a will or outright endowment donation, you can help to ensure that Am Shalom will have a vibrant and vital tomorrow.
