Joe and Anna Stein have been faithful supporters of the Jewish Federation of Las Vegas. They believe it is important to support and encourage its mission.

Joe: Several years ago, Anna and I decided to become part of the Jewish Federation of Las Vegas. We believe that they are truly helping others. We think that it is important to partner with them to make a difference. For that reason, Anna and I have made gifts over the years to help others.

Anna: We wanted to do more than to just make gifts. Joe and I have been careful over the years and have accumulated some resources. We plan to be generous with family, but we also have the ability to be generous with charitable organizations.

After talking it, the Jewish Federation of Las Vegas decided to leave a bequest in our will. Our attorney took the simple language available from Jewish Federation of Las Vegas and included a nice bequest. We are delighted that we will be helping others through them. We are happy to be a part of the federation legacy society.

You also may want to make it easy and convenient to have a bequest included in your will to bend it to the Federation. The language below shows how a bequest can very easily be included in your will.
