Legacy Circle Ensures Long-term Future of Shomrei Torah
“As my Ancestors plant for me, I plant now for my children and my children’s children.”Ta’anit 23a
Shomrei Torah’s Legacy Circle is an extraordinary group of committed individuals who share a common vision: that our community will be a center for progressive Reform Judaism for generations to come. Legacy Circle members remember Shomrei Torah in their estate planning—through trusts, wills or insurance policies—or provide endowment-level gifts to CST during their lifetime. A bequest of any amount helps Congregation Shomrei Torah thrive l’dor v’dor, from generation to generation.
Your gift to Shomrei Torah ensures that Sonoma County’s Jewish community will forever have a Beit Tefilah (house of prayer), Beit K’nesset (house of community), and a Beit Midrash (house of study) of its very own. Designate your gift to benefit a specific program, or to be applied where most needed.
