Sponsor Kiddush or Seudah Shlishit

Sponsor a Kiddush or Seudah Shlishit
Every Shabbat, our community enjoys a Kiddush following morning services and Seudah Shlishit in the afternoon following Minchah. Both of these are appropriate ways to mark a simchah, yahrzeit, birthday or other lifecycle event.

Once a month we have a special Shabbat Mevarchim Kiddush, an assortment of hot foods, and a refreshing salad menu for the summer months. The Shabbat Mevarchim Kiddush was designed as an ideal opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of family members or friends with the entire community, or to commemorate the yahrzeits of loved ones who touched our lives.

All Kiddush and Seudah Shlishit Sponsors are recognized in the appropriate Shabbat Bulletin.
Kiddush: $250, Shabbat Mevarchim Kiddush: $180, Seudah Shlishit: $180.

To sponsor Kiddush or Seudah Shlishit, contact Aaron at astrum@jewishcenter.org.
