This may be the single most important decision you ever make.
WHAT WILL YOUR LEGACY BE?
Have you thought about how you'll be remembered?
Have you wondered, what will your legacy be?
If you want to pass along your most deeply held values and support a cause that's been important in your life - consider including Bais Chana Women International in your will. It's remarkably easy to do.
When you put Bais Chana in your will, you'll be supporting what you love - Jewish women celebrating Shabbat, marrying Jewish, raising Jewish children, sharing the joy of Purim, lighting the menora, and bringing the wisdom of Torah to their friends, communities and the world - for generations to come.
All because you cared about them and their future.
Your legacy will be empowered Jewish women. Happy, healthy Jewish families. And a bright Jewish future for us all.
You can make that happen with a gift in your will to Bais Chana.

Here's how a bequest works:
- A bequest does not cost you anything during your lifetime.
- With a Residuary Bequest, you designate a portion of your estate to Bais Chana Women International.
- With an Outright Bequest, you leave a specific dollar amount or a specific asset, like securities or real estate, to Bais Chana Women International.
- After your passing, your trustee will transfer the bequest money (or real estate) to Bais Chana Women International.
- Bequests are revocable and can be changed or modified during your lifetime.
- Bequests may relieve the tax burden on your family.
