Sponsor a Kiddush at Shul

B’nai Shalom congregants are invited and encouraged to sponsor a kiddush at shul to honor a loved one or celebrate a simcha with your shul family.

PLEASE CONFIRM THE REQUESTED DATE WITH THE SHUL OFFICE CALENDAR PRIOR TO COMPLETING THE ONLINE KIDDUSH FORM. THANK YOU.

At least a four-day notice is required to make arrangements for a kiddush.

Options and fees:

  • Renting the social hall for a special occasion, not related to a shul service: $400. If renting the social hall for a special occasion but the entire congregation is invited via a shul office email, $400 fee is waived
