What a joy to share a leisurely shabbat or holiday kiddush lunch with new and old friends in the warm embrace of our OZ community!
Our dedicated Kiddush Team of volunteers strives to offer a sponsored kiddush every Saturday Shabbat. (In special cases we can offer a Friday night meal also.)
Shabbat kiddushes often celebrate the milestones of our community members:
- A birthday or anniversary
- Wedding
- Baby naming
- Conversion
- B Mitzvah
- Honoring a committee, group or volunteer
- In memory of a loved one
- A group small or large may get together to honor collective birthdays in a given month
During the Shabbat service, the rabbi will offer a special blessing to those attending or being honored or remembered. And, we share detail of the sponsorship in our weekly email to the community and on signage in the social hall.
Sponsorships can come in two forms:
- Paying a sponsorship
- Volunteering as a kitchen lead, purchasing kosher ingredients and creating the kiddush yourself (with support of our Kiddush Team
Here is the sponsorship form:
A Kiddush captain will get in touch with you once you submit the form.

Consider Supporting Our Kiddush Fund
A special “Kiddush Fund” is held at Ohavi Zedek to help defray costs of a kiddush lunch when costs are prohibitive for a volunteer who would like to prepare the meal. It is funded by voluntary donations. We encourage you to contribute!
