Kiddush Sponsorship

Kiddush Sponsorship

The Yavneh Minyan is proud to serve both Kiddush and Seudah Shelishit every Shabbat. Please help us to defray the costs by offering to sponsor Kiddush and/or Seudah Shelishit.

To arrange to sponsor a Kiddush or a Seudah Shelishit, please contact Miriam Benzaquen.

  • There is an additional $180 charge for non-Members. This $180 non-Member charge may be credited towards Membership dues if the sponsor joins the Minyan within 6 months of the kiddush.
  • Basic Kiddush consists of: cake, soda, snacks and paper goods. Please see below for additional options that may be added to the Kiddush at extra cost.
