Underwrite a Kiddush
Celebrate a simcha or honor a loved one by underwriting a Shabbat Kiddush. Cost is $54 for a Shabbat Kiddush. The cost is $144 to sponsor a Shabbat lunch, or $54 to partially underwrite the lunch. Underwriting will be acknowledged in the weekly Shabbat announcements. Please remember that no special food requests are permitted; however, you may provide a certified kosher cake to mark the occasion. Reserve your date by contacting the synagogue office: 616-949-2840 or office@ahavasisraelgr.org.
