Each week after Shabbat Shacharit services, Congregation Etz Ahaim throws the best Kiddush in town, and you can be part of that.
Sponsor a Kiddush in honor of an event or maybe in the memory of a loved one. Or, for no reason at all just because you're a nice person.
Once again, you can sponsor a particular kiddush right from our webpage. Just select the Sponsor a Kiddush from the menu on top of our webpage.
