KOL SHOFAR KIDDUSH GUIDE
Barbara Schwartz and Tessa
Cherniss have prepared this downloadable guide to help you prepare a
wonderful self-catered Kiddush at our shul. Please click here to download Kol Shofar's kiddush guide
(PDF).
PLEASE SIGN UP NOW TO SPONSOR A SHABBAT KIDDUSH
There is an old Jewish
proverb that says, “worries go
down better with soup.”
Enjoying a
community Kiddush following services is one of the unique ways that we,
at Kol Shofar, help to joyfully build our relationships and support each
other.
We have now started a new approach
to providing food for our Shabbat Kiddush. This new procedure will be
used for the 35 Kiddushes during this next year that are not
programmatic celebrations or sponsored by a b’nei mitzvah
family.
We have developed two
menu levels with caterers who can prepare and drop off our kosher
Kiddushes. Menus are $400 and $600 and each will feed 100 people. The
$400 menu offers bagels, cream cheeses, salad or egg salad, fruit, and
desserts; the $600 menu may include a frittata, hummus or small
sandwiches. Kol Shofar will provide coffee and tea. For $200 or $300,
one can co-sponsor a Kiddush at one of the above levels by finding
another co-sponsor to share the day with you.
Alternatively, for those wishing to
sponsor a Do-It-Yourself Kiddush, we are preparing a guide with shopping
lists, simple menus, and quantities needed to make it easy for you.
This will soon be posted here on our website. Our own Rabbi Shelly Dorph
is serving as our Mashgiach (Kashrut supervisor) to help answer any
questions you might have about ingredients or food
preparation.
Please consider
sponsoring a Kiddush to celebrate a simcha or to honor or remember a
special person. As always, the community is counting on its members to
step forward to provide Kiddush; without sponsors on a given Shabbat, no
Kiddush lunch will be provided.
To
sponsor a Kiddush, please contact Marcy Levey-Klassen. Kiddush
sponsorships will begin September 3. You may want to reserve a special
date advance, but please call at least one week prior to a Kiddush to
assure your sponsorship at 415.388.1818 ext 100 or email Marcy
at Mlklassen@kolshofar.org
and send your check to the synagogue.
