Pathway to Joy


Growing our Pathway to Joy
 
Did you walk our new brick pathway to the Sukkah this year?  Did you linger to read the bricks put there to honor loved ones and commemorate simchas?  Did you wish that you had ordered a brick too and regret that you hadn't?
 
Now is your chance to do so!
 
We are proud to announce that we are now open for orders for a second round of bricks.  If you order before December 31 your brick will be ready for dedication on Purim (Febraury 28).  And you will have helped fund Shir Chadash's services, education, programs and vision for next year and all the years to come.
 
Bricks are available in three sizes, and inscriptions may include English and/or Hebrew.  Click  here  for more information and to submit your order.  Or come to the office and Danielle will gladly help you.
 
Rabbi Silver has already ordered Zalman's brick.  Will you place an order too?
