Inscribe Your Story in the Book of Life


Created through the Life & Legacy initiative of the Grinspoon Foundation and the Jewish 
Federation of the Lehigh Valley, in partnership with our local agencies, day schools, and 
synagogues, the Book of Life is an online collection of stories and photographs honoring 
those who have made the meaningful decision to include our community in their legacy 
plans.


This living archive celebrates the values, traditions, and commitments that define Jewish life 
in the Lehigh Valley, preserving them for future generations. Click here to view the simple
guidelines to help you share your story, providing you with an opportunity to reflect, inspire,
and ensure that your legacy inspires the next generation

Who is eligible to sign the Book of Life?
 
Anyone, regardless of age, wealth, or affiliation, who commits to establishing an endowment
or leaving a bequest, in any amount, to one or more of our agencies, synagogues, or the
Federation is invited to sign their name in the Book of Life and share the story of what inspired
their gift.
