ROSES FOR ROSH HASHANAH
Makes a Comeback - 2021
Order here: Store
Back in the 90’s a B’nai B’rith volunteer and Seven Acres supporter coordinated a program during the High Holidays that benefited the residents of Seven Acres. The driving force behind that program was volunteer Max Goldfield. Max and the Houston B'nai B'rith Council partnered with the Jewish Herald Voice to assist by printing a form that people could fill out, send in and purchase a dozen long stemmed roses. The program, Roses for Rosh Hashanah, was active for about seven years and then was discontinued.
Fast Forward to the present and the Roses for Rosh Hashanah program is up and running again this year. Bro. Mark K. and the Hebrew Order of David (HOD) Lodge Galil along with Lodge Tikvah, have stepped up to run this wonderful volunteer fundraiser that will benefit the residents of Seven Acres and The Medallion. “I worked on this project with Max Goldfield back in the 90’s and I have fond memories of what a worthwhile fundraiser it was,” remarked Katzenellenbogen. “Both Houston Lodges of Hebrew Order of David are proud to be bringing Roses for Rosh Hashanah back to benefit the residents of Seven Acres and The Medallion.”
In addition to purchasing holiday flowers for friends and family throughout the community, the roses can be purchased for residents of Seven Acres and The Medallion. One dozen red roses will be wrapped with filler and greenery, ready to be placed in your vase. (Roses for Seven Acres and Medallion residents will be placed in vases.)
Now, as well as back in the day, these roses will express one’s best wishes for a happy and healthy new year to our loved ones. One dozen roses will cost $ 36.00 if they are picked up at the Seven Acres Circle Drive near the Flagpole - 6200 N Braeswood, Houston, TX 77074 and $ 48.00 if they are to be delivered within a 10 mile radius of Seven Acres. A satellite pick up location will also be located on the west side of Houston. (A satellite pick up location will also be located on the west side of Houston to accommodate supporters located in that area.)
To participate in Roses for Rosh Hashanah please visit HOD Lodge Galil's website, https://www.hodgalil.org/ and look under the Roses drop down. All proceeds will go to benefit the residents of Seven Acres and The Medallion.
