Support ISRAEL and AM HASKALAH while buying Gifts for Loved Ones

New Creations by Anne Keller-Smith that support both Am Haskalah and Israel. The profit from the sale of any Creation from her site goes to our congregation—all you have to do is indicate you're a member in the Comments box on Checkout. Anne uses a large number of Israeli wax-process hollow sterling silver beads in her work, so a purchase of a piece with these beads does a double mitzvah: you support both Am Haskalah and the Israeli silver-crafting community. Read all about wax-process electroforming by clicking on the link posted on the Creations home page.

Shabbat Wine Charms

Order Shabbat charms to round out your Passover set of wonderful wine charms—you can use the Challah instead of the matzah and the Shabbat cup instead of the seder plate. Or order a whole new set in a different color of crystal. It's up to you. $4.00 each wine charm or $24.00 for a set of six. Any purchase you make from Anne will include the donation of her profit to Am Haskalah. You may also contact her directly at 610-966-7751 or annekellersmith@amhaskalah.org for more information.

The Baby Quilt Poster

Support Am Haskalah and adorn your home by ordering a high-quality poster of the lovely baby quilt made by many members of Am Haskalah as a gift to Rabbi Melissa Klein and Dr. Neysa Nevins in honor their first child, Natan David, born January 14, 2007.

The cost is $25 by preorder (which covers the cost) or $36 (to include a small donation to Am Haskalah).

The large squares were made by adults, the small squares were made by older kids, and the bands of color at top and bottom were made by the preschool class. It was designed by Beth Hyde and sewn and quilted by Cary Oshins and David Smith. The poster lists all contributors at the bottom and a key is available to coordinate squares to specific artists.
