Giving
Leave a lasting legacy to the Jewish people — by naming Chabad in your will or estate plan.
A bequest is a gift you arrange now and that reaches us later. It supports the whole range of what happens here: the preschool, Jewish learning at every age, visiting the sick, helping people who are struggling. Your moment, your legacy, your Chabad.
The method depends on the kind of gift you choose to leave. Bequests of real estate, personal property, business interests, and cash are typically made by way of a will, a revocable trust, or a simple codicil to your current estate plan.
Other bequests — retirement assets, insurance policies, bank accounts, stocks and bonds — are usually made by completing a beneficiary designation form with the institution that holds them.
These three lines are what your attorney needs, and they are exact. Please ask us for the wording itself rather than copying it from anywhere — including from our own older pages.
Legal name — Chabad House
Tax ID (EIN) — 84-3752618
Address — 5580 Almaden Expressway, San Jose, CA 95118
A bequest is revocable: naming us today commits nothing and can be changed at any time. There are also ways to give now that cost less than people expect — appreciated stock, or a distribution straight from an IRA if you are over 70½. Both are on every way to give.
This is a conversation, not a form. Rabbi Weinfeld is glad to talk it through with you and your family, in confidence and with no obligation.
In confidence and with no obligation. Say what you would like to ask and the best way to reach you.
A gift in your will, in practical terms
The wording to give your attorney, what to name us as, and a way to tell us quietly that you have done it — which lets us thank you now rather than never.
Chabad of Silicon Valley is a registered 501(c)(3). We're not able to give legal or tax advice — please have your own attorney or advisor review any estate plan.
