Ohev Sholom - The National Synagogue is selling scrip for grocery stores. The synagogue makes a percentage from your grocery shopping. Currently, we are providing scrip for Koshermart. If this goes well we will include other local grocers such as Safeway, Giant, Magruders, and Snyders. Before you go shopping please stop by Ohev Sholom and pick up the amount of scrip that you think you will spend at the store. We will get a percentage of every dollar you spend. This can develop into a great fundraiser for the synagogue. Eat and make money all at the same time.
