KIDDUSH SPONSORSHIPS

Kehillah Ateres Yaakov prides itself on being a no-talking shul, so as a way for our members, guests and newcomers to socialize and get to know each other better, the Kehillah provides a weekly full kiddush with hot chulent, cookies, cake, drinks, herring including a children's table with special snacks. The Kehillah provides the kiddush whether there are sponsors or not.

There are several volunteers who work hard to assure that the kiddush takes place weekly. For a while now, the Kehillah has been subsidizing the kiddush, operating at a large deficit. As such, we are appealing to each of our members to sponsor a kiddush in the coming months. Partial sponsorships, shared sponsorships or a general donation to the kiddush fund is appropriate and appreciated. 

• Cost of standard kiddush is $500. 

Please Note: these kiddush plans are served buffet style, additional seating requirements can only be accommodated with a hall rental.

To sponsor a kiddush or to inquire about our hall rentals, please contact Mrs. Temima Baum at the MAY office: 516-374-6465 x4001 or email  [email protected] .
