Sponsorship Opportunities
WEEKLY KIDDUSH FUND
In keeping with Adereth El’s tradition of warmth and hospitality to members and visitors, we have a Kiddush for all every Shabbat morning after services. While these Kiddushes are often sponsored, there are times that the Shul takes responsibility for the costs. We have therefore created a Kiddush Fund to help defray the cost of the Shul-sponsored Kiddushes. Donors contributing $250 or more are recognized as donors to the Fund in the Shul’s weekly email and listed in the semi-annual bulletin. Donations under $250 are recognized in the semi-annual bulletin. Please send your contributions to the Shul, noting that it is for the Kiddush Fund.
DEDICATION AND SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Commemorate a loved one, honor a friend or celebrate a Simcha! Consider sponsoring security, the eruv, or a Kiddush. Sponsoring the eruv costs $36, and security costs $125. The cost for sponsoring a Kiddush varies. Basic options are available on our website or we can work with you on a custom menu. Alternatively, you can dedicate a siddur or purchase a plaque. For sponsorships and dedications, email or call the Shul. Please check if your employer matches your donation
