Leave a Legacy for Future Generations
"... As my ancestors planted for me before I was born, so I plant for those who come after me."
- Talmud, Taanit 23a
Our Community. Our Values. Our Legacy.
Park Avenue Synagogue has served its members and the greater Jewish community for nearly 150 years.
Your legacy gift will help ensure that we can continue providing the meaningful Jewish education, worship, and community you cherish for the next 150 years.
Each year, planned gifts make a significant direct contribution to our budget. Legacy gifts build our endowment, an investment that creates a lasting source of income, securing the future of Park Avenue Synagogue for our children and grandchildren.
