After every Shabbat Morning Service, Temple Isaiah hosts a Kiddush, which consists of a blessing over the wine/juice and challah (provided by the Temple). There is no extra charge for this Kiddush.
If you would like to sponsor a more elaborate Kiddush Reception for this joyous occasion, please call the Temple office to be sure that the social hall is available for the date of your Bar/Bat Mitzvah Service.
In addition to the wine/juice and challah, the After-Services Kiddush Reception includes: coffee, tea, sugar, and all paper goods. Any additional items are your responsibility to order and must conform to the Guidelines for the Serving of Food at Temple Isaiah. You may use any caterer. You must, however, make sure that the caterer sends Temple Isaiah a Certificate of Insurance naming Temple Isaiah as an additional insured.
