Lasting Legacies

Enduring Tributes for Family and Friends

As an expression of love, honor and memory, Beth David is now offering members the opportunity to create a lasting legacy by naming areas of our synagogue. Walking by a commemorative plaque reminds us of families and individuals who are respected and appreciated. Seeing their names tangibly inscribed reminds us of their generosity, values and love. Elegant and enduring, plaques are available in memory of or in honor of family and friends. Rooms will be acknowledged by their names as we remember our past, connect with our present and look towards the future.

We are thrilled to offer this opportunity to honor family and friends while helping our Temple build for the future.

If you are interested in honoring a family member or friend you can create a “Lasting Legacy” by contacting the Rabbi at [email protected]. or 714-892-6623 ext. 227.
