    To Honor and Remember...  

    Order Form 

    There are many ways to honor a loved one, commemorate a simcha or to celebrate a membership anniversary through donations to our varied funds or by one of the meaningful sponsorships listed below.

    Scroll Book One of the most beautiful annual traditions at Ohabei Shalom is the listing of the names of our departed in the Scroll Book. This memorial booklet, endowed by the Beal Family, is distributed on Yom Kippur afternoon, before the Yizkor service. During the service, we read the names of our loved ones who died since last Yom Kippur and then place the booklet in the ark.
    Minimum suggested donation: $18 (for those who are not yet members of the Congregation, $36)

    YahrzeitYahrzeit Plaques Loved ones’ names may be inscribed on bronze plaques that are placed on the large tablets located in our main Sanctuary. Each memorial plaque is illuminated on the Shabbat evening and morning ending the week in which the yahrzeit occurs (on the Hebrew or civil date, according to the wishes of the family). The name is also listed in the Shabbat Bulletin that week, in the Scroll Book, which is distributed on Yom Kippur (see above), and in the appropriate edition of the monthly Tidings.
    $720 (for those who are not yet members of the Congregation, $1,200)

    Book of RemembranceBook of Remembrance The first name that appears in this precious heirloom is that of Judah Touro, who died in 1854. He was the benefactor of many charitable and civic organizations, including the Touro Synagogue in Newport and the Bunker Hill Monument in Boston. He also bequeathed a generous sum to Ohabei Shalom, the first (and until that very year, the only) synagogue in Massachusetts. The pages of the Book of Remembrance are exquisitely decorated, and each name is inscribed in beautiful calligraphy. As with the yahrzeit plaques, names are automatically listed in the annual Scroll Book and in the appropriate Shabbat Bulletin and Tidings newsletter each year.
    $360 (for those who are not yet members of the Congregation, $540)

    Sanctuary Seats You may endow a seat in the Sanctuary in honor of any life cycle event—in your own name or in that of a loved one This is a wonderful way to celebrate a birth or a marriage or to commemorate a life.
    $1,800 (for those who are not yet members of the Congregation, $2,500) 

    Sanctuary Rows You may endow a row in the Sanctuary in honor of any life cycle event-in your own name or in that of a loved one. This is a wonderful way to celebrate a birth, marriage, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, or to commemorate a life. $4,000 (for those who are not yet members of the Congregation, $7,500)

    Chapel Seats Thanks to a most generous contribution from Shirley Spero, our Chapel is graced by beautiful chairs. These chairs provide a unique opportunity to honor someone significant in your life, past or present, by placing his/her name on the Comfort of the House plaque.
    $500 (for those who are not members of the Congregation, $660)

    People of the Book These two white marble plaques line the wall of the Sanctuary Foyer as you descend towards Penn Spero Hall. Have your name, or the name of a loved one, etched in gold lettering onto this magnificent tribute to the supporters of the congregation. Space is limited. $10,000 (for those who are not yet members of the Congregation, $12,000)

    Mishkan T'FilahMishkan T'Filah: Shabbat Prayer Book This year we are introducing a new prayer book, Mishkan T'Filah. We still need additional copies of this contemporary prayer book and hope that congregants and friends of Ohabei Shalom will dedicate one or more copies so that we will soon have sufficient number for the entire congregation.
    $72 (for those who are not yet members of the Congregation, $100)
