Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote: "In this hour we, the living, are the people of Israel. The tasks begun by our ancestors and prophets and continued by their descendants are now entrusted to us. We are either the last Jews or those who will hand over the entire past to generations to come. We will either forfeit or enrich the legacy of ages." That's why I support the TBS Foundation.—David Miller and Sherry Thompson

Four simple ways to support the TBS Foundation
Name the TBS Foundation as the “Payable on Death” (POD) beneficiary of any account, including your IRA. This takes the account out of your estate.
Life insurance – give an old or new policy with the TBS Foundation as the beneficiary and owner. Make an annual, tax-deductible donation to cover the premium. It’s an inexpensive way to make a large gift.
Leave a set amount in your will – this costs nothing during your lifetime.
Donate your house, but continue to live in it! This is called a retained life estate. It removes a taxable asset from your estate.
Leaving a gift for the TBS Foundation in your will is as easy as this sentence:
I give to the Temple Beth Shalom Foundation, a nonprofit charitable and religious corporation located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, _________________ (insert here: a dollar amount, percentage [%] of estate, or a description of the property you intend to bequeath) for its general purposes.
You can also add a codicil to a completed will to include the TBS Foundation (requires a notary to certify the signatures of two witnesses – contact your attorney for details).
The Foundation also accepts gifts of stock.
The Foundation can direct you to advisors with expertise in more complex planned gifts. For more information, contact Foundation President Dan Yohalem at 505-983-9433, Ralph Scheuer at 505-982-9911 or Aaron Wolf at 505-988-4476.
