• At the Shelter Rock Jewish Center, in Roslyn, New
  York, most of our members honored or memorialized
  loved ones in the Siddurim. We charged 180 for
  each name listed and we raised 30,000 over the
  cost of the Siddurim which we are using for other
  Synagogue projects
• In addition, a few large donors chose to honor or
  memorialize loved ones in the dedication pages in
  the front of the volumes. These special pages
  raised over 60,000 in additional funds.
• The Members of Your Congregation will welcome the
  opportunity to be part of this Siddur and to have
  their names and their loved ones names in your
  Synagogues prayer book either as
• Subscribers for the dedication or memorial pages
  at a rate that you feel is appropriate for your
  congregants
• Front page donors at a price to be separately
  negotiated with the Publisher.
