Memorialize your loved ones - Honor your loved ones - Support your Temple

Congregation Beth Emeth congregants may now purchase bricks to honor friends and family members or to memorialize loved ones.

The engraved bricks will be appropriately placed in either the Holocaust Memorial Garden to memorialize loved ones or by the entrance to the Center for Jewish Education to honor family or friends.

Up to 48 characters may be included on each brick, which will only include the names of those honored or memorialized. There is a maximum of three lines per brick with sixteen characters per line. Please note: spaces and punctuation marks count as a character. Please use the names of people only – no messages or names of pets are allowed.

Donation is $150 per brick. The project is on-going as fifty bricks at a time are needed per location for an order to be processed (engraved).

Examples:

Harry Plotkin

Sarah, Joseph &

Millie Plotkin

Dr. Abraham
