The most meaningful gifts you can leave your loved ones are the values, wisdom, and life lessons that have shaped who you are.

Please join us for a thoughtful and inspiring workshop about Ethical Wills with Rabbi Karen Strok. After a lovely brunch, we will have an opportunity to begin the process of designing Ethical Wills, which are deeply personal, non-legal documents that allow us to share non-tangible assets, such as our values, beliefs, and hopes, with future generations. Unlike a legal will, which distributes property and assets, an ethical will focuses on your spiritual and emotional legacy.

Who: Forever Lions of Judah
What: Ethical Wills Workshop with Rabbi Karen Strok
When: Wednesday, August 19th • 11:00 AM
Where: Encino location shared with registrants
Couvert: $36 per person

 

 

For more information, please contact JFEDLA Senior Vice President, Planned Giving, Betsy Berger at (323) 761-8216 or BBerger@JewishLA.org.

We look forward to seeing you on August 19th.
