PTS Friday Night Oneg Policy
At Peninsula Temple Sholom, our Friday night oneg is a cherished tradition—a time to gather, connect, and honor special moments in a spirit of warmth and welcome.
We are delighted to recognize those who make our onegs possible through contributions or sponsorships. Many choose to mark a meaningful occasion—such as a yahrzeit, a wedding anniversary, a birthday, a graduation, or another milestone. Others celebrate a new job, a retirement, a special accomplishment, or even the joy of welcoming a new child or grandchild.
An oneg can also be a beautiful way to honor a loved one, to offer gratitude, or simply to celebrate being part of this community. By sharing these moments with one another, we strengthen the bonds that connect us and create memories that belong to all of us.
Please note that any contribution or sponsorship is a donation to the temple.
