Sponsorship of the Unraveller is a wonderful way to mark a special occasion. We have had bar mitzvah anniversaries, yartziets, refuah shelema (get well soon) and other life events marked with sponsorship.The Unraveller reaches men and women all over the world, and provides a unique commentary on the weekly haftarah. We ask that you keep your dedication to less than 50 words, and remind you that sponsorship is not exclusive - we have had more than one sponsor per issue.
The cost is $118, and we will contact you for payment once we receive this completed form.
About the FJMC Sefer HaftarahThe Sefer Haftarah Project had its birth in Florida at the 2003 International Convention of the Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs. Written in Israel, the Sefer Haftarah includes all the Haftarahs and is unique with the addition of vowels and troupe and individual parsha dedications. Over the past 6 years the FJMC Sefer Haftarah has traveled throughout the United States and Canada and is in a different shul every Shabbat of the year. The club receives the Sefer Haftarah on Wednesday and should be ready on Monday morning to go on to the next club. This schedule gives a Bar or Bat Mitzvah time to practice with the Sefer prior to their big day. There is no cost to a club as travel expenses are paid by the FJMC. All it takes to be eligible to host the Sefer Haftarah is that the club must make a reservation. On Shabbat morning many clubs parade into their sanctuary with the Sefer Haftarah at the start of the Torah service presenting the Sefer to the Rabbi. The morning's Haftarah is read from the FJMC Sefer Haftarah. Following the service it may be rolled out on tables for congregants to come and get a closer look at the calligraphy and parsha dedications. On Sunday morning many clubs arrange with their religious school to show the unique Sefer to the students. FJMC regions are welcome to have the Sefer Haftarah at their retreats. With over 260 member clubs, and only 52 weeks in the year, scheduling priority will be given to clubs who have not had a recent visit from the Sefer Haftarah. Our current schedule is set through June 26, 2010, however, we will be opening a new reservation system in the new year to enable clubs to directly bid on a visit. The FJMC can also supply complete copies of the Sefer Haftarah as a fundraising tool along with individual Haftarah portions which are appropriate gifts to mark significant occasions and milestones. For further information on the FJMC Sefer Haftarah please contact Dave Gerstein @ gerstein1@verizon.net, or 972-596-2034.Each issue of The Unraveller will include "Where is the Sefer Haftarah this week"
