Sisterhood maintains the Gift Shop, regularly gifting the synagogue with its profits.
Beth El’s Baum Judaica Gift Shop was founded and funded by Sarah Baum z”l in memory of her husband, Isadore Baum z”l. The original Gift Shop was a rolling display case holding Judaica items purchased from Lower East Side stores by Dorothy Fox, Anne Meyers, and Gloria Lebow z”l. Today the Gift Shop counter and five display cases fill the eastern corner of Beth El’s main lobby with Judaica from around the world. We carry items for Shabbat, holidays, life cycle ritual events, and more. Browsing is always welcome.
The Gift Shop is open by appointment. To schedule a visit that’s convenient for you, please call or email Carole Graham: (914) 419-6270/carolegraham@optonline.net or Ellen Hollander: (914) 632-4658/ellenarts@optonline.net, Gift Shop Chairs.
We carry, among other Judaica, a selection of beautiful tallitot for men and women.
