RETAIL
ESTABLISHMENTS
JewishMusic.com is an excellent source of cantorial, Israeli, kids,
folk, klezmer and other forms of Jewish music. You can hear excerpts
online and order using a typical shopping cart metaphor. And
best of all, B'nai Shalom receives a percentage of each
order that you place using the link above. So if you want to
buy Jewish music, do it from this link and help to support your shul.
(B'nai Shalom does not endorse JewishMusic.com over any other online or
offline source of Jewish music.)
KosherSupermarket.com provides OU-certified kosher food,
delivered to your door. In some areas (not yet Chicago), they deliver
same day using their own trucks, just like Peapod or Webvan. For us in
Buffalo Grove, we have to use FedEx or UPS Overnight. But Kosher
Supermarket has many hard-to-find items, including grocery, deli, meat,
bakery, sweets, wines and spirits, gift baskets, nutrition, and holiday
specials. And, as with JewishMusic.com above, B'nai Shalom receives a
percentage of each order that you place by clicking on the link above.
So if you want to buy kosher food, you can also help to support your
shul. (B'nai Shalom does not endorse KosherSupermarket.com over any
other online or offline source of Jewish food.)
