Annual Legacy Luncheon

Our 18th Annual Legacy Luncheon is Sunday, March 23, 2025

The Legacy Luncheon of Congregation Beth Shalom (CBS) is an annual fundraising event where the committee selects those who make a difference in our community. Congregation Beth Shalom is a Conservative Jewish synagogue serving the greater Corona/Norco/Eastvale areas and surrounding communities. We are proud to pay tribute to some very special people and one humanitarian business who have given unconditional service and support to our Jewish community.

The Legacy Award is presented to individuals involved in our synagogue who exemplify the traditions of Jewish life and act as role models for future generations. These individuals have a high level of commitment to the CBS “community.”

The Shomer Tzedek Award (Guardian of Righteousness Award) is presented to a non-member who validates the tenets of Judaism in the local community.

The Shatuf Tzedek Award (Business Partner Award) is presented to a business partner who has made a significant contribution to the Jewish community in the greater Corona Valley.

Besides honoring members and members of our community for their contributions towards a better community, a beautiful luncheon is part of this event.  During the event, a silent auction and live auction for our Fund-A-Need takes place.  In the past years, our need is Israel’s need, thus we have been raising funds for groves of Trees in The Holy Land.  All funds raised are used to sustain our synagogue, the center of Jewish life in the greater Corona Valley since 1968.

For more details and information, contact our chairperson, Renee Miller (909) 228-5945.
