Cheryl & Norman Gras

At Kesher Israel we have all been the beneficiaries of generous donations that support the daily operations of our Synagogue. These donors had the foresight to leave a legacy to keep our Shul with financial vitality. Providing for the sustainability of our community by participating in the Life and Legacy program will enhance the future of Jewish Harrisburg.

Dan and Gloria Grabenstein

While Gloria and I have not been members of KI for multiple decades, we have been members long enough to realize how important KI is to the Harrisburg Community. And with that realization we are aware that we needed to do something to insure its future viability. With that in mind we decided to make KI a beneficiary in our wills. This enabled us to be able to provide for not only our family needs, but also our spiritual family as well. We are convinced that doing this was one of the best decisions we have made in recent years.
