From 1978 to 2011, Temple Solel has grown from a handful of families with the dream of building a strong, Reform Jewish temple community to the bustling center of prayer, learning, and activities in which you participate today. Those early founders dedicated themselves to the
task. Their foresight, hard work, and fundraising efforts enabled their dream to blossom. We
must continue their work and keep Temple Solel on strong footing to provide a lively Jewish
community for our children, grandchildren, friends, and even strangers. Please consider joining
the Circle of Honor to further support this important effort.

LEGACY CIRCLE
“When I was born into this world, I found many carob trees
planted by my father and grandfather. Just as they planted trees
for me, I am planting trees for my children and grandchildren
so they will be able to eat the fruit of these trees.”
O
ne of the many ways that members of our congregation have chosen to express their deep commitment to our
community is by naming Temple Solel in their will, in their trust, in another planned charitable gift, or by making an
endowment donation. This is a way to make a lasting contribution that continues your Jewish legacy in perpetuity.
We wish to thank those generous donors and to acknowledge them as members of the Legacy Circle.
If you have named Temple Solel in your will or trust, or if you have made another form of legacy gift to Temple Solel,
we would like to acknowledge your generosity. Any amount of giving is greatly appreciated. Please call Robin Rubin at
(760) 436-0654, and we will be glad to add your name to the membership list for the Legacy Circle.
