Bimah Baskets

The Social Outreach Committee is starting a new project which, hopefully, will not only enhance our Bimah but will raise needed funds to combat hunger in our community.

We seek sponsors each week to donate beautiful symbolic food baskets to sit on the Bimah, in honor of a special event or in memory of a loved one.

Your sponsorship of one or two baskets will help us in this endeavor.  One basket - $54 and two baskets - $90 will raise needed funds for the Rhoda Bloom Food Pantry, other local Food Banks and Pantries, plus provide a little extra for our congregation. Proceeds will be distributed evenly to each cause.

Your sponsorship will be in our weekly newsletter and in the flyer handed out every Shabbat in the synagogue. It will also be announced from the Bimah at the end of services.  Please make sure that you make your donation at least one week ahead of time to give the office the opportunity to share your generosity.

You can find an application for the donation in the office, in the synagogue lobby, in the weekly Newsletter and online. Fill it in and make out your checks to Congregation Shir Shalom/ Memo: Bimah Baskets. A special fund is being set aside just for this purpose. There will be no comingling of funds.
