SIMCHA OPPORTUNITIES
(A celebration of monthly birthdays and anniversaries
for our Beth Tzedek family members.)
PLEASE JOIN US! On Saturday morning,
September 12, as we honor those
observing a simcha during the month of September.
We’d like to acknowledge members who are celebrating with a bimah
honor during services. Please let us know if you’d like an aliyah or reading.
Those who wish to remain anonymous may, of course, do so. Those
with another simcha (such as promotions, graduations, engagements,
homecoming, etc.) are also welcome to participate. Even if you will not be
at services, we hope you will participate by letting the congregation know
of your celebration.
If you are a celebrant, we ask that you join in sponsoring the lovely kiddush
luncheon. Feel free to invite your family and friends to celebrate with you.
(If you expect a large number of guests, please let the office know so that
we may adequately prepare the luncheon. If you expect only a few guests,
no additional notice is necessary.)
We have established three primary levels of support:
• $36.00 to be a Sponsor;
• $54.00 to be a Donor; and
• $72.00 to be a Benefactor
You may honor a child, here in town or near to your heart, with any of these
amounts or with our additional, special Kinder Recognition, with a donation
of $1.00 per year for children up to age 18.
We appreciate even greater generosity to help offset the ever-increasing
costs. Perhaps you can send a dollar for every year of celebration?
However, if even these levels are too much for your budget, please feel
free to contact Allan Werbow in the Temple office or me. Family and friends
may find that a Simcha Shabbat sponsorship is the perfect gift.
Because of publication delays, it will take a month or two, but those
contributing to the Simcha Shabbat Kiddush will have their names listed in
the Shofar – unless you request that you remain anonymous.
To participate or if you have any questions, please contact the Temple
Office (838-3232) or Linda Boxer (284-1534) or via email: (boxerlinda@
yahoo.com).
We look forward to sharing your celebration!
