Celebrate a lifetime of memories.
Annual Yahrzeit Gift
Your memorial donation pays tribute to your loved one and makes a big difference for seniors. Yahrzeit contributions of $18 or more will be recognized in The Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle.
Yahrzeit Endowment
A contribution of $1,000 or more will establish a Yahrzeit Legacy Endowment in memory of your loved one. Each year, a yahrzeit donation from this endowment fund will be made automatically to the Jewish Association on Aging, improving the lives of older adults today and in future generations. Our sages teach us that performing this mitzvah enables an elevation of your loved one's soul, pays tribute to his/her life, and follows the customs of our heritage.
A Yahrzeit Legacy Endowment includes the following benefits:
- A notice mailed annually to remind you and your family of the upcoming yahrzeit.
- Kaddish prayers said for your loved one during the first year after the burial and on the Shabbat closest to the yahrzeit date each year thereafter.
- Publication of your loved one's name in The Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle during the week of his/her yahrzeit.
- Recognition in The Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle of this and any additional annual donations of $18 or more made by you or your family members.
- Membership in the JAA Legacy Society.
- Honoring of your loved one's life and legacy with recognition in the JAA's annual report and other publications.
Establishing a Yahrzeit Legacy Endowment ensures your loved one's yahrzeit will be remembered every year with a meaningful donation, both during and beyond your own lifetime.
You may create this endowment with a donation today, or through your will, trust, retirement account, or life insurance policy. For more information contact the Development department at 412-586-3264 or development@jaapgh.org.
