Susan Voight created a legacy for her synagogue, Congregation Beth El-Keser Israel.
“I am excited to leave a two-fold legacy. My greatest legacy is having 3 children and now 7 grandchildren. As the daughter of Holocaust survivors, I can say, ‘We live on! We thrive!’ My second legacy is to my shul, Congregation Beth El–Keser Israel. I created a legacy for BEKI in my estate plans so that it can continue to be a place for families to learn and grow.”
Susan Voight
Be forever remembered by our community for the legacy you leave.

- Contribute cash or appreciated securities.
- Foundation sells the assets and credits your fund with the sale proceeds.
