Yes, you can still shop for Judaica on the Eastside! Contrary to the statement in your article (“Judaica stores disappearing from Eastside,” Nov. 2), you do not need to cross the bridge into Seattle to purchase gift or ritual items. From Hanukkah candles or gelt, to CDs, cards, tallitot, jewelry, and Shabbat candles, the Judaica Shop at Temple B’nai Torah offers a wide selection of Judaica. Our Sisterhood operates the shop as a service to our temple community. Proceeds support temple activities, provide financial support for our children to attend Jewish summer programs, and support tzedakah projects worldwide. We will be glad to help you find whatever you need. Call the office at Temple B’nai Torah at 425-603-9677 for further information or to schedule an appointment.
