The Gift & Simcha Shop of Congregation Beth El benefits our synagogue community in two very important ways.

First, we are always available and ready to help with all of your gift-giving needs.  We help congregants find just the right piece of Judaica for a special simcha, and keep an ever-changing inventory of fabulous gifts and Judaic items.  We have helped our customers order everything from the kippot for a bar or bat mitzvah, to a special hanukkiah. We take requests and orders.  We also shop for our items year round, at trade shows, by catalog, and through direct relationships with special vendors.

Secondly, the money we raise goes directly to defraying costs that help make synagogue events more special, more lavish, or more high end, while still staying on budget.  Recent examples include sponsoring the martini bar at the Nitzan Auction and Fund Raiser, the special kiddush to honor challat and chatan bereshit Jere Moskovitz and Marvin Rosenbaum.  By purchasing these items, the gift shop helps the event achieve more than budgeted, while costing less.

For special requests please contact Nancy Oberst or Hilary Shaefitz through the synagogue office.
