The Adams Street Shul

Congregation Agudas Achim Anshei Sfard

Donate to the shul without it costing you a cent! Next time you shop at The Butcherie in Brookline, remember to ask for your receipt to be stamped. When you send your stamped receipts to the shul, we turn them in and The Butcherie donates 5% of your receipt total (3% for credit card purchases) to the Shul. What an easy way to support a great cause!

Whenever you buy books, you can help the Shul at the same time. If you use the links below, Amazon will donate about 6% of your purchase to the shul. Since they usually have the best prices, you save too!

For example: Here's a link to buy the Artscroll Siddur: Nusach Sefard (the same Siddur we use in the Shul). And here's the The Chumash: The Stone Edition (the same one we use in the Shul). Or any Books at all!

In fact, Amazon donates to the Shul when you buy anything (if you go to Amazon via our links), including:

So please use these links to help the Shul whenever you shop. Thanks.
