CREATE A JEWISH LEGACY
You can Ensure a Jewish Tomorrow!

Orange County Jewish community.
Create a Jewish Legacy invites supporters of our Jewish community- people from all economic levels and all walks of life– to come together in signing the Endowment Book of Life. By signing the Endowment Book of Life, you are committing to leaving a percentage of your estate to the Orange County Jewish Community. Whether you leave 1%, 10%, or more, your support will be planting a seed that will provide life-changing Jewish experiences for your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and beyond.
