Memorial Plaques

Honor the loving memory of a departed family member or close friend by having his or her name inscribed on a solid brass Memorial Plaque for placement on our Memorial Wall in the Lifson Sanctuary. The Rabbi and Cantor conduct a meaningful, short ceremony in memory of your loved one at the time the Memorial Plaque is dedicated. The Yahrzeit memorial prayer is recited annually for those whose names are inscribed on our Memorial Plaques.

Dedication Bricks

You can commemorate a Simcha such as the birth of a baby, a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, a wedding, a special anniversary, or some other family milestone, with a personalized Dedication Brick for our Derek Or (Path of Light), which runs through our beautiful Gan Shalom.

Building Fund

Contributions go towards large-scale projects that maintain, decorate and outfit our beautiful building.

Gerald Gutterman Endowment Fund

SFS is fortunate to have a well-managed investment fund, named after one of the fund’s founders, protecting the long term viability of our congregation and the presence of our synagogue in Southern Westchester for generations to come.

Whether it’s sponsoring an oneg or community dinner or buying flowers for the bimah, make a gift that brings joy, beauty, and a sense of community to our congregation. Please reach out by phone (914-664-1727) or email (ellensfs@gmail.com) to learn more.
