We will not
rest until we have raised the consciousness of the entire
hospice community and the
entire American Jewish community - the natural
hyphenation
of "Jewish" and "Hospice" and, thank God, we are making
even
greater strides every single year.
Recently people have
asked
"can we put you in
our will?"
We have
received funds from wills, estates, trust funds and other
fiduciary
devices and they have made all the difference in
the world to the people who
need us. If you, or someone you know,
is now preparing to set aside funds to be distributed after
their deaths, or more critically, in special trusts to be held
for them during their lifetimes, the NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR
JEWISH HOSPICE, which invests only in vulnerable Jewish
populations, could well use the
income.
I pray that you will have good years ahead of
you. That none of you, your
friends or relatives will need the use of
our service. But you know that we will be there - if God
forbid you need us- and that you will support those of us who need to support them.
God bless you, Shanah Tovah and a Happy
New Year.
Rabbi, Dr. Maurice
Lamm.
President, NIJH
