SIDDUR LEV SHALEM DEDICATIONS
Temple Israel Center will be transitioning to the Conservative Movement’s new prayerbook, Siddur Lev Shalem. We are offering our congregants the opportunity to make personal dedications (in honor of and/or in memory of ...) for the siddurim. This is a beautiful way to remember, honor or recognize someone special by passing on the Jewish text from generation to generation.
