Summer Learning Program 2012

SALLY & SEYMOUR OLSHIN ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM

Our Annual Summer Learning Program is enabled only through the generosity of our sponsors. It is to their credit that the voice of Torah is strengthened each summer in our community.

Sponsorship is one hundred eighty dollars ($180). Please call the Synagogue office at (516) 487-6100  to be included in this noble effort. We will recognize and honor all of our sponsors in a special Shabbat Announcements listing.

To sponsor a “Day of Learning” at an additional cost in honor or in memory of a loved one, please contact Mark Twersky.

Thank you for helping support Torah.
