ROSES FOR ROSH HASHANAH 2022

Click - The Medallion Jewish Assisted Living Residence

thanks HOD for The Roses for Rosh Hashanah - 9/25/2022

Roses for Rosh Hashanah was back again this year at Seven Acres and The Medallion for the second year. The Hebrew Order of David Galil Lodge organized the project that brought smiles to the face of the residents on the Seven Acres campus. In addition to purchasing holiday flowers for friends and family throughout the community, the roses were purchased for all of the residents. This project was originally run back in the 1990’s by the late Max Goldfield and the Houston B’nai B’rith Council. Thank you to all of the members of the Galil chapter of HOD for their dedication and support again this year. Thank you also to all of our wonderful donors.

ROSES FOR ROSH HASHANAH 2022

Order here, or Donate here

The Hebrew Order of David (HOD) Houston Lodges have stepped up to run this wonderful volunteer fundraiser that will 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.) 

These roses will express one’s best wishes for a happy and healthy new year to our loved ones.  You have three choices to get one dozen beautiful red roses:

Pick up/Seven Acres/Medallion Resident - is $36.00 if they are picked up at the Medallion car port at the back of the complex - 6200 N Braeswood,  Houston, TX  77074 (or delivered to any Seven Acres or Medallion resident) 

Delivery - $ 48.00 if they are to be delivered within a 10 mile radius of Seven Acres. 

Donate - You can donate any amount to ensure every resident of Seven Acres and The Medallion have roses in their room

All proceeds will go to benefit the residents of Seven Acres and The Medallion.

Back in the 90’s a B’nai B’rith volunteer and Seven Acres supporter, Max Goldfield, coordinated a program during the High Holidays that benefited the residents of Seven Acres.  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. 

 “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 Mark Katzenellenbogen, HOD Lodge Galil.  “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.”

We started boxing all the vases for reuse next year.
