SPONSORING A KIDDUSH AT RODEF SHALOM

Sponsoring a Kiddush, in full or in part, is a wonderful way to share a simcha with your Rodef Shalom “family”.  Below is information about costs and Kiddush menu choices.  Please contact Josh Gold, Executive Director, at 303-399-0035 or josh.gold@rodef-shalom.org if you are interested.

The Basic Kiddush

This includes a buffet of tuna or egg salad, a second salad, sliced challahs, gluten free crackers and a “house selection” of sweets. Beverages are lemonade, coffee, decaf, tea selection and ice water.  Also included are sliced challahs, wine and grape juice shots for blessings, standard table linen and disposable “eco friendly” guest wares.  The cost to sponsor the basic kiddush is $360.  You can also co-sponsor for $180.
