Sponsoring a Shabbat morning Kiddush
“The Kiddush” is a vital part of Shabbat at Stanmore. It creates friendships and a sense of community and enhances the warm shul atmosphere in which we take so much pride.
We are delighted to offer members the opportunity to sponsor a kiddush after the Shabbat morning service. You can choose to sponsor a Kiddush to celebrate a simcha, to mark an important anniversary or birthday, or for any other reason.
More than one family can sponsor on the same shabbat. We will contact you with the option of co-sponsorship if there is already a sponsor in place for the date that you have chosen.
Whisky can be part of your package, or you can arrange to bring your own whisky for use at the kiddush. Please let the office know your preference.
All of our kiddushim are entirely nut-free and include a table for special dietary requirements with a selection of gluten-free items and vegan dips. Please discuss any further dietary requirements you may have with the office.
We offer a variety of options for your kiddush.
- Kiddush A – “Israeli variety” including pita, felafel, sabich, fried aubergine and so much more.
- Kiddush B – “Dessert special”, including platters of mini desserts such as eclairs, fruit tarts, lemon tarts, apple crumbles, and so much more.
- Kiddush C – “Savoury special” including fishballs, mini quiches, vegetarian sausages rolls, shmaltz herring, and so much more
- Kiddush D – “Hot kiddush” includes delicious meat cholent or vegetarian cholent, potato kugel, and so much more. (Winter Only)
Please email office@stanmoresynagogue.org or call the shul office to discuss your preferences.
Sponsoring the children’s Shabbat kiddush
The Shabbat children’s kiddush brings together the youngest members of our community and their parents. This is unarguably the part of the morning most looked forward to by the children, and for the parents, it’s an environment where firm friendships are made and nursery/school/parenting tips are exchanged!
If your child’s birthday is coming up you might like to sponsor this spread with a modest donation.
Please speak to the shul office if this is something you would like to do.
Sponsoring a mid-week Kiddush
Many members choose to sponsor a small biscuit, whisky and wine kiddush mid-week to celebrate a simcha e.g. a Barmitzvah boy’s first call-up or to mark a yahrzeit.
Please speak to the shul office if this is something you would like to do.
