CONVERSATIONS THAT MATTER
Jewish Future Promise, in partnership with Dr. Erica Brown, has put together these resources to help start conversations with your family, write an ethical will, or write a legacy letter.
What’s the last rewarding conversation you had with your family about Jewish purpose, values and meaning? Our guide can help. Read or download a pdf
An ethical will, called a tzava’a in Hebrew, is an ethical and emotional approach to estate planning. Read or download a pdf to learn more.
Check out our series of pdf guides and webinars that will help you have a conversation with your family about giving in ways that honor Jewish stories, values and traditions.
