"Chevrat Bonim," The Shofar (monthly newsletter of Tifereth Israel Synagogue, San Diego), page 7: The Chevrat Bonim (TIS' Legacy Society) inaugural party on September 11th at the (Leslie and Jacob) Bercovitz home was a lovely event honoring those who have pledged to leave a bequest to Tifereth Israel or have set up endowments for the synagogue. Sylvia Hartman, a member of TICO (Tifereth Israel Community Orchestra), played beautiful harp and piano pieces while guests visited and enjoyed the view of El Cajon from the Bercovitz' patio.  We honor those who are leaving a legacy to TIS either by pledging a bequest or by giving an endowment.
