"We want to leave a legacy gift to places that matter to us! When you plan in advance, YOU can choose where you would like to designate your after-life giving. We choose Beth Jacob.  

I (Marcy) have been a member since birth and Beth Jacob has helped shape me into who I am today. Beth Jacob has been a huge source of our family’s spiritual growth and is a cornerstone of the Atlanta Jewish Community. We want to help ensure that it is here for future generations!"

"I am part of the BJ Legacy Fund Board because this synagogue has been and continues to be an important part of my life and the life of my family. I have made a commitment so that this great institution will continue to positively impact others in the community the same way it impacted me."

"Beth Jacob is the future. We came to BJ through the Kollel when we were still on the road to observance and it was love at first sight. The Legacy Fund ensures Beth Jacob's future, so we're in!"

"I moved to the Toco Hills community with my son in 1993. After my first Yom Kippur here, I knew I had found my spiritual home. When difficult times came, I knew I had found family - people that were there for us even when I didn't ask, gave what I hadn't thought I needed, and provided love, support, and friendship like I have never experienced before. That is why I started the Beth Jacob Legacy Fund - to support the future of Beth Jacob, so this community will be here for generations to come and be able to provide the same Torah life and community that has made such a difference in our lives."

“We're leaving a legacy to Beth Jacob because Beth Jacob has been a religious and community center for our family for many years and has enabled our family to thrive."

"Beth Jacob synagogue and its community have been a significant part of the Carson Family since we first moved to Atlanta in the mid-40’s. We have gotten profound satisfaction from our participation over these years in supporting the Shul, and in dedicating the Carson Library and Study Rooms, which will continue to be an integral part of the congregation for years to come."

"What a great feeling I had the day I called the office to ask for the Tax ID of the Beth Jacob Legacy Fund, Inc., to enable me to designate our beloved shul as a beneficiary on my IRA account.  

We're not getting out of this alive, so it's a comfort to know that even when I am not physically here, I can give back to the Shul that has given me so much.  It is the gift that keeps on giving!"
