Joshua and Heather Shapiro

Joshua Shapiro was born in Cincinnati, earned his undergraduate at University of Cincinnati and his law degree from Indiana University.

Josh is extremely active in the community, in professional associations as well as in the Jewish community. He is particularly active at Rockdale Temple, Jewish Cemeteries of Greater Cincinnati, and Cedar Village Retirement Community.

He and his wife Heather have three children, and they seek to not only ensure the viability of the community, but also provide an example to their children, by making this legacy commitment.

My wife and I established our first estate plan shortly after getting married over 15 years ago and have modified it over the years as our family and savings have grown. The charitable aspect to our planning began as a default if none of our children survived us.

As we have become more involved in the Cincinnati Jewish community over the years, that sentiment has slightly changed.

We believe our planning now properly protects our family and the charitable gift will not compromise that protection. Further, we felt that leaving a charitable bequest would set the proper example for our children to follow someday.

We hope that our children, too, will become involved in their Jewish communities and seek to ensure its viability.
