Temple Israel is proud to be one of 10 community partners in Charlotte’s Create Your Jewish Legacy (CJL) initiative, an effort to build a strong and vibrant Jewish future through bequests and permanent endowments.
Through CJL, we affirm that everyone, regardless of age, wealth, or affiliation, has the ability to make a lasting impact. This initiative, led by the Foundation for the Charlotte Jewish Community (FCJC), is modeled after successful programs in over 30 cities, including San Diego, Kansas City, Hartford, St. Louis, and Richmond.
Why Create a Jewish Legacy
For over 120 years, Temple Israel has been a spiritual home to generations of families, providing:
- Sacred traditions and meaningful life cycle events
- Education on mitzvot, Jewish law, and Hebrew
- Connections to Israel and the global Jewish community
- A welcoming, intergenerational mishpacha (family)
We are rooted in tradition yet forward-thinking, ensuring Temple Israel remains relevant today through engaging programs and community outreach.
Securing Temple Israel's Future
To preserve and strengthen the legacy of those who came before us, we must invest in the future. Your legacy gift helps sustain Temple Israel’s:
- Religious services & education
- Social action initiatives
- Community outreach & pastoral care
- Innovative programming
A bequest or planned gift—of any size—ensures that future generations will continue to experience the richness of Jewish life at Temple Israel. An endowment lasts forever, ensuring a strong and thriving Conservative synagogue in Charlotte—L’dor V’dor (from generation to generation).
