CEH’s Legacy Giving Program

As our parents planted for us, let us sow the seeds that will make a difference for our children and grandchildren.

-Talmud Ta’anit 23a

Congregation Etz Hayim is our Jewish home: the place where we continue to create meaningful religious experiences, friendships and memories.  For over 75 years, Etz Hayim has sustained the Jewish community in Arlington.  We are working to ensure that the Congregation will continue to be active and serve its members for the next 75 years.  For that to happen, Etz Hayim needs and deserves our support.

And doing so is easy.  You can include Etz Hayim in your estate planning through your will or trust, or simply by updating your retirement plan, IRA, or life insurance beneficiary designation. If you would like to discuss doing so, please email us at legacy@etzhayim.net.

If you have already made provisions for including Etz Hayim in your estate planning and would like to inform us, please simply complete this declaration of intent and email or send it, or drop it off in the congregation office so that we may recognize your generosity.

Etz Hayim is a proud partner of the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington’s “Create a Jewish Legacy” Program.
