SPONSOR A KIDDUSH
Every Saturday after services, CBJ offers a lovely Kiddush luncheon. This is a time for folks to relax, have a nosh, and connect with other members of the congregation and visitors. CBJ members are encouraged to sponsor a Kiddush to mark a special occasion or simply to support the community.
The Google Spreadsheet below is automatically updated every 5 minutes. The dates without a name(s) are open and in need of a sponsor.
If you would like to host a Kiddush or contribute to the Kiddush Fund, please contact Cynthia Brickman, either by email or at 650-366-8481. Suggested donations for Kiddush sponsorship are flexible and reasonable. Please let us know if you have one of these specific dates in mind, or if this is a general contribution.
SPONSOR A ROCKIN' SHABBAT DINNER
Our monthly Rockin’ Shabbat dinner is one of our most successful community-building events, an entry point to our community for newcomers and an affordable luxury for many long-time Beth Jacob members.
The cost of providing the dinner exceeds the amount we are comfortable charging our members. The cost from our caterer has recently increased to $25 per adult, while we continue to charge $20 per adult. We also offer dinner at no charge to prospective members and to Beth Jacob staff and their families.
In hopes of continuing the dinner program in its current form without raising prices, we are asking people to consider “sponsoring” one Rockin’ Shabbat dinner a year. A minimum sponsorship donation of $360 will help bridge the gap between our income from the dinners and our costs, enabling us to keep the dinners affordable and to offer them at no cost to prospective members and to Beth Jacob staff. Sponsorship can mark an occasion such as an anniversary or birthday, and will be announced to the congregation unless you prefer to make an anonymous donation.
Consider sponsoring an upcoming Rockin’ Shabbat dinner.
Contact Gilah Abelson by email or at 650-345-1525 or Eric Stone by email or at 650-366-8481 to confirm arrangements.

KEPLER'S COMMUNITY PARTNERS PROGRAM
Congregation Beth Jacob is now a Community Partner at Kepler's!
Click on the logo to learn more and shop online.
Kepler's has a long tradition of supporting schools and non-profits in the community. They have created a program that provides meaningful support to the Partners throughout the year. Partner organizations get 10% back on any purchases their community members make at Kepler's. In 2008, Kepler's donated over $24,000 to partner schools, libraries and non-profits. This program is available all year round.
How it works:
-
Shop in the store. Simply mention Congregation Beth Jacob at the register when you check out. Kepler's will keep track of these purchases and send a benefit check to CBJ at the end of each quarter. If the donation is less than $50.00 they will hold the amount and include it in the next quarter’s check.
-
Shop online. Congregation Beth Jacob is now also on the Community Partners page of their website. People who shop online can click the “Shop Now” button next to Congregation Beth Jacob and Kepler's will include those online sales in the quarterly donations. This also lets CBJ extend the program to people who may not live near the store.
Thank you Kepler's for supporting the local Jewish community and non-profit organizations like CBJ!
