Your Opportunity to Create a Lasting Legacy for the People of Israel

Leaving a gift in your Will is a powerful act of commitment to the future of the People of Israel. It is a meaningful way to ensure your values and vision endure and support generations to come.

By leaving a gift in your Will, you are helping fund vital programs that strengthen Israel and support its most vulnerable populations -from Holocaust survivors to new immigrants and youth at risk.

Now more than ever, it is critical to safeguard Israel’s long-term wellbeing by planning and supporting the Israel of today, tomorrow and forever.

Why Consider a Gift in Your Will?

It’s your legacy.

Reflect your lifelong values and passion for Israel.

It’s impactful.

Even 1% of your estate can make a lasting difference.

It’s meaningful.

Honour your life, your family’s journey, or the memory of a loved one.

Leaving even 1% of your estate, after taking care of your loved ones, can have a profound impact and help create a stronger future for Israel and its people.

Your Legacy, Their Future

I never expected I would need Israel the way I do now. As a Jew, its mere existence was a comfort for my soul and source of pride for my people, but my home was Ukraine.

A Lasting Tribute

Each year we pay tribute to the memory of those who are no longer with us, who generously remembered the People of Israel by leaving a gift in their Will through UIA.

Held at a special Yizkor ceremony on Shavuot at the Great Synagogue in Jerusalem, each benefactor’s name is read out alongside Israel’s deceased Presidents and Prime Ministers, thereby acknowledging their dedication to the future of Israel.

In addition, UIA Victoria honours our generous benefactors in the following ways:
