Birthday/Anniversary

Birthdays and anniversaries are opportunities to celebrate with family and friends. We also like to mark special milestone birthdays, by bestowing an honor (reading Torah, Haftarah, an aliyah or congregational reading) to congregants. We invite you to celebrate your special occasion with the Beth Shalom family.

 

Each month on Shabbat morning, all couples celebrating their anniversaries that month join us for an aliyah to the Torah. Following the aliyah, the rabbi recites a blessing to mark this special occasion. 

 

After services, have your family and friends join you for the Kiddush luncheon. 

 

Please contact the synagogue office to schedule an aliyah or to co-sponsor a Kiddush luncheon to mark your special birthday or anniversary.

 

We welcome interfaith families to participate in life cycle events. For more information, please speak to our clergy.
