Section 1, “Eternally in Memory”
Section 2, “In Loving Memory”
The deadline for submitting these contributions and names is Monday, September 19.

Torah Project Cards!
Send one today!
Need to celebrate a simcha? Is there a family to whom you want to send condolences?
Torah Project cards acknowledging a donation or sponsorship of the Torah Project, such as a letter, name, or verse, are a wonderful, meaningful, and thoughtful way to send your message of love and caring.
They are perfect for simchas, such as a baby naming, graduations, honorary doctorates, b’nei mitzvah, and Brit Milah, and memorials for loved ones to let the family know you are with them.
When you make a donation to sponsor a tribute card in any part of the New Torah, we send the cards to people to let them know that a sponsorship has been made in their honor or to the family in memory of a loved one. If you have already made a donation and want to change it to a tribute card or add a card, let us know. We can personalize messages and provide a translation of Hebrew passages if desired.
The cards are folded to 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 and mailed directly to the person honored or the family, as appropriate. We have separate cards for adults and young children.
Give the gift of writing a Torah.
It lasts a lifetime.
For more information or to request a tribute card, contact the synagogue office at 908-273-8130, X 110 or call Kala Paul (kala.paul45@gmail.com) or Jaimee Ehrenfried (ehrenfriedjs@msn.com)
