Create a Lasting Legacy

You have been a member of the Chicago Jewish Historical Society (CJHS) for decades. You have loved receiving the quarterly journal, Chicago Jewish History, and you’ve attended many stimulating CJHS-sponsored programs  featuring authors, historians, community leaders, artists, and others, all of whom have contributed to your understanding of Chicago Jewish history and piqued your interest in learning more!

CJHS has made a difference in your life, and your support has been vital to our work. Consider making a difference in the future of CJHS and the Chicago Jewish community through a generous contribution or a legacy gift.

You can make your gift directly through online contribution or a check to the Society. You may choose other options, such as a gift of stock, other securities, or retirement account assets.

To create a truly enduring legacy, please think about naming the Chicago Jewish Historical Society in your will. By doing so, you will be ensuring that future generations will gain an appreciation for the dynamic strands of Chicago Jewish life – the remarkable people, accomplishments, and institutions that continue to shape our community and define us as Jewish Chicagoans.

Talk to your attorneys and financial advisors about how to show your support for all that CHJS has given to you and our community over the years.

CJHS President Dr. Rachelle Gold will be pleased to respond to your inquiries about donations and legacy gifts. Contact her by email at info@chicagojewishhistory.org. Write “Legacy Gift” in the Subject line.
