The gift of flowers to decorate the bimah is a meaningful way to remember a loved one, honor a bar or bat mitzvah, or commemorate a wedding, birthday or other notable event. Flower sponsorship enhances the beauty of our magnificent sanctuaries throughout the year. The temple arranges for the flowers each week and congregants who wish to sponsor flowers may do so with a donation of $450 to the temple.
Instead of flowers, you may prefer to help sponsor the weekly Oneg Shabbat (reception) held after Sabbath worship services on Friday evenings. With an Oneg Shabbat sponsorship — also a $450 donation — the temple arranges for food and beverages, and no special arrangements need to be made by the donor.
Both flower and oneg dedications are published on our website on This Week at Emanu-El for the Sabbath you choose; several dedications usually appear each week. Dedication information will appear in the weekly pre-Shabbat email.
B’nei Mitzvah parents, please note: Oneg Shabbat sponsorship is part of the requirements for having a bar or bat mitzvah service at Temple Emanu-El. No special arrangements need to be made with the temple; please refer to your B’nei Mitzvah contract for details on billing.
