Forever Lions are recognized among the most dynamic philanthropic Jewish women in the world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lts_quote_wrap  \"><div class=\"lts_quote\">After witnessing first-hand over the years Federation\u2019s far-reaching impact, it is equally a tremendous honor to give in a lasting, meaningful way to an organization that has provided me purpose, pride and a true sense of community. I never thought I could give in such a significant way however once I learned an endowment could include funding through my life insurance and will, I quickly saw how I could make a significant impact and help as many people as possible for years to come, particularly for causes I\u2019m passionate about including women\u2019s issues, those battling addiction and more. I\u2019m honored to create this legacy and encourage women to consider how they can give in their name to causes close to their heart.<\/div><div class=\"lts_quote_author\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\">-Vivian Lieberman<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Lieberman\u2019s gift serves among the lead commitments to Campaign for the Future, the largest campaign in the history of Jewish Palm Beach.
