Kiddush Cooperative 2015
We have finished our second cycle of the Kiddush Cooperative and based on
feedback from members, it continues to be a nice addition to our kiddush
calendar allowing a group of families to sponsor at least seven to eight
times a year a hot and delicious kiddush. Thus, we would like to start our
third cycle following the yeshiva break. In order to do that we need at least
twenty four families to participate at a cost of $200 per family. This is an
excellent way to sponsor kiddush at a very reasonable price. While we
typically order from our local vendors, we welcome feedback from Kiddush
Cooperative members on what types of menus they would like to see.
Thank you to the following families who have joined this year's Kiddush
Cooperative: Adams, Alt, Barber, Barta, Blass, Blech, Blum, Borodach,
Carman, Distenfeld, Einhorn, Eisenman, Levin, Mittan, Polinsky, Rabitz,
Rivkin, Rothstein, Rose and Anonymous families for your season
sponsorship. If
We still welcome families to join the Kiddush Cooperative. The more families
we have, the more hot kiddushes we can enjoy throughout the year. It is
not too late to join! Please email Holly Weiss at
holly.ohrenweiss1@gmail.com to add your name to the Kiddush
Cooperative.
Pesach Seder April 3
Home for Pesach?
Looking for a meaningful Seder?
Please join Rabbi Ciment for the first Seder night (April 3rd) in the shul.
Cost will be $45 per person

Email Ciment1@yahoo.com with your name and how many adults and
children will be joining.
RSVP BY March 23rd
If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, please contact Yosef
Rothstein at president@arzeidarom.org.
Kiddush Committee News
Families interested in sponsoring a kiddush and/or seudat shlishit should
contact Holly so that she can reserve the date on the shul calendar. Please
also let Holly know if you would like to participate in an upcoming Crock Pot
Challenge which generally takes place around Rosh Chodesh. We've been
doing these for a year and are always seeking new families to take the
challenge.
Kiddush clean up is on a rotating basis, based on your last name. While we
recognize that everyone in your group may not be available each Shabbat,
we ask that you pitch in if you are assigned in that month so that the same
people are not doing the clean-up each week. We all like kiddushes and we
all make plans for lunch after shul so please be respectful of your fellow
congregants by helping out during your assigned month if you are in shul.
We also ask that you please watch your children during Kiddush to the
extent possible, and to place their finished items in the garbage cans
provided.
Mar: Goldstein, Grunstein, Horowitz, Katzwer
For more information on anything Kiddush related, please contact Holly
Weiss at kiddush@arzeidarom.org.

Torah. The more Torah in the shul, the better, so let us know if you have
any other suggestions.
