Simchat Torah Kol Hane'arim Tallit

Each year at Simchat Torah we rejoice when our children and grandchildren are called up to the Torah to receive an aliya together. This aliya, the Kol Hane'arim aliya, takes place under a large Tallit. For the fifth year, Etz Chaim will be adding names to our beautifully designed Tallit on which you will have an opportunity to have your child(ren)'s and grandchild(ren)'s name embroidered.

For $36 per name - this can include first, middle and last names - your child's name will be embroidered on this Tallit which will become a permanent feature of our Simchat Torah celebration. The names are embroidered in Hebrew. If you need help with spelling, please contact Shelley Paradis at shel4p@aol.com or Rabbi Klibanoff at rabbiklibanoff@gmail.com.

Please fill out the attached form and return to the office by July 1.

This is a firm deadline as we plan to use the Tallit this year and the stitching takes time.

For further information, please contact
