Legacy Giving
Including Temple Emanu-El in your estate planning promises your children and future 
generations a place of worship, study and community.
There are several ways to leave a legacy to Temple Emanu-El:
- Name the synagogue in your will or estate plan as a recipient of a set percentage or dollar amount of your estate
- Designate Temple Emanu-El as a beneficiary to a life insurance policy, retirement fund, or IRA
- Make a bequest of real estate, a valuable work of art or other personal property
Unrestricted gifts provide Temple Emanu-El with the maximum flexibility to allocate funds where the need is greatest. If you wish to designate a more specific purpose to your gift, please consider one of the broad areas that serve our congregation’s core mission – worship and spirituality, Jewish education, or community and social justice – and let us know, so we can ensure that we will be able to honor your wishes.
The following sample provision may be helpful to you and your attorney.
“I bequeath to Temple Emanu-El, 2550 Pali Highway, Honolulu, Hawaii 96817, the sum of $ _________ * [or ________percent of my estate] for its general charitable, religious and educational purposes.”
If you have made a provision in your will, or would like more information on Legacy Giving, please contact Executive Director Jessica Glasser at executivedirector@shaloha.com or by calling 808-595-7521.
