Planned Giving
Liane Ofenham-Hall
Liane Ofenham-Hall wanted to make a contribution to the
Jewish Home that would last, so she set up a perpetual
endowment through the Jewish Community Federation’s
Endowment Fund in the names of her parents, Ben and Reva
Iscoff, and late husband, Michael Ofenham. She designated it
for recreational activities at the Home and she funds it annually.
She also intends to include the Home in her estate plans.
“It’s not a million dollars,” she says modestly of her ongoing
beneficence, “but it’s enough to go on an outing every year.”
The Jewish Home has been a part of Liane’s life for many
years. It began when an aunt, her father’s sister, became a
resident. “My father went to see her often and began visiting
others, too. He then decided to set up a blackjack game for
residents, as another way for them to socialize and have
fun,” she recalls. “My mother was also involved, and then my
husband and I ran a bingo game one night a week.”
Liane’s father received numerous awards from the Home
for his volunteer activities and his name is on a plaque in
the Home’s galleria. Thanks to Liane, her family’s name and
dedication to the Home will remain in perpetuity through
the family’s fund.
Raymond Levy
Raymond Levy has been practicing law in San Francisco
for 55 years and in that time, he says, he has worked with a
great number of people. When the topic of charity comes
up during an estate-planning discussion, “I can’t tell people
which charities to designate,” he remarks, “but I’m at liberty to
mention the Jewish Home.”
Raymond is very familiar with the Jewish Home. Over the
years, nearly a dozen friends, relatives, and clients of his have
resided there. “I know full well the Home’s care and cordiality,
how attentive the staff is, how courteous they are at all times.”
His mother-in-law was one of the residents he visited. “She
would take us to the coffee shop, and as she had an account
there, she could treat us to lunch or a snack. It gave her a sense
of independence.”
Affirming that he is “sufficiently positive” about the Home,
Raymond mentions another connection: his oldest son used to
perform magic shows for the residents.
