Sponsoring a Kiddush

We welcome anyone who wishes to participate in Sponsoring or participating in the Kiddush.  A Kiddush is a wonderful way to celebrate a simcha, such as a birth, baby naming, birthday, aufruf, anniversary, or graduation. You can also commemorate and remember the yahrtzeit of a loved one by sponsoring or participating in the Kiddush, on those occasions as well.

The names of those who have donated/sponsored a Kiddush are acknowledged from the bimah and in our weekly printed Shabbat announcements.

Bar/Bat Mitzvah Families sponsoring a Kiddush or Oneg

You are invited to have kiddush lunch at Bet Torah every Shabbat! The congregation has the opportunity to celebrate Shabbat together with the Bat/Bar Mitzvah family. It is the responsibility of every Bar/Bat Mitzvah family to sponsor the kiddush following the Shabbat morning service on the day of their simcha.

Hosting a Friday Night Dinner

A family opting to host a Friday night Shabbat dinner at the synagogue, a great way to celebrate your simcha, must make a request with the Executive Director approximately 3 months in advance.  Friday night dinners must be scheduled in coordination with Kabbalat Shabbat services, and the caterer must be approved by the Executive Director when scheduled.
