The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia honored the past, celebrated the present and embraced the future at the Legacy Society and Remembrance event on October 26. Taking place at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue, the evening marked the annual event’s return to an in-person commemoration after last year’s virtual program.

 

Spanning the generations, 100 people attended the event. Co-chaired by Stefani, Adam and Caren Levin, the program recognized the generous members of the community who have left or plan to leave a gift to the Jewish Federation in their estate plans. 

 

Rabbi Robyn Frisch led a memorial service to pay tribute to those individuals who recently passed away and remembered the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia in their estate plans.

 

The event included an induction ceremony to welcome 12 members, who either made a new planned gift or an additional gift that increased their recognition level.  

 

The night concluded with a presentation from keynote speaker Barbara Greenspan Shaiman, M.Ed. 

 

The event was co-chaired by (L to R) Adam, Caren and Stefani Levin.
