came before us. We are the inheritors of a proud past and a now it is our turn
to help secure the future. We have formed the Dor l'Dor Society (Generation to

the congregation, become life members or have told us they have included the
synagogue in their estate plan. These gifts help build our Endowment Fund and
ensure that our synagogue remains a cornerstone of Jewish life in San Diego and
the nation. A gift in your will involves little sacrifice in the present, but
guarantees our Jewish future. Our legacy, indeed our responsibility, is to
follow in the footsteps of our predecessors, keeping our synagogue vibrant for
our children and grandchildren. With gratitude, we acknowledge and thank
