A gift in your will helps sustain Maroubra Synagogue for generations to come.
A bequest is a gift or sum of money left in your will. It is a wonderful way to have a positive impact on your community and to ensure the continuity and strength of the Jewish community.
In the hustle and bustle of the modern world, the synagogue remains the centre point of Jewish life. The founders of Maroubra Synagogue were mostly Holocaust survivors, who created a place that was an extension of their homes and their extended family. We continue that tradition, and Maroubra Synagogue is known as a welcoming and caring place for people seeking to express and celebrate their Judaism.
By leaving a bequest to Maroubra Synagogue you are helping your community beyond your lifetime, strengthening your link in the chain for current and future generations.
“To be a Jew is to be a link in the chain of the generations, a character in a drama that began long before we were born and will continue long after our death.”
Making a bequest does not always mean rewriting your will. A simple codicil, an addition to your existing will, is an easy option. Some suggested wording:
I bequeath to the Kingsford Maroubra Hebrew Congregation, 635 Anzac Pde, Maroubra, NSW 2035 the sum of $X.
I bequeath to the Kingsford Maroubra Hebrew Congregation, 635 Anzac Pde, Maroubra, NSW 2035 X% of my estate.
I bequeath to the Kingsford Maroubra Hebrew Congregation, 635 Anzac Pde, Maroubra, NSW 2035 X% of the residue of my estate.
I bequeath my X (description of property or asset/s) to the Kingsford Maroubra Hebrew Congregation, 635 Anzac Pde, Maroubra, NSW 2035.
I bequeath this free of all charges to the Kingsford Maroubra Hebrew Congregation, 635 Anzac Pde, Maroubra, NSW 2035 (ABN: 40 000 543 859) to be used for general purposes. The official receipt of the Kingsford Maroubra Hebrew Congregation will be sufficient acknowledgement of having received this gift.
We understand that deciding how your estate is distributed is very personal. If you would like to leave all or part of your estate to Maroubra Synagogue, we recommend involving your family in the decision and seeking professional legal advice to ensure your wishes are met.
