Planning a gift for our synagogue is a beautiful way to leave a legacy. We hope that all of our congregants will feel the importance of bestowing a gift to CBI that will help sustain our spiritual home for the future. There are so many ways to make a legacy gift at a level that is meaningful to you. Most legacy gifts do not require any immediate payment:

bequest in your will or family trust,

designating CBI as a beneficiary in your retirement accounts,

a life insurance policy with CBI as a beneficiary.

When you commit to a legacy gift to CBI you will become part of Greater Hartford's Life and Legacy Program, in partnership with the Jewish Community Foundation and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, which promotes after-lifetime giving. I hope that our community will be inspired by philanthropic giving to CBI and will have those conversations about what is meaningful to you, to plant seeds for the future. Please contact our Development Director, Lauren Benthien, to learn more.
