Advertise in the AJ 5785 Printed Calendar!

We're starting to develop the AJ printed calendar for 5785. As usual, we have opportunities for you to advertise your business in the Business Directory in the back of the calendar. You can also include birthday, anniversary, and yahrzeit information to the AJ Calendar. Children love to see their names in print, spouses no longer have an excuse to forget an anniversary, and yahrzeits can be conveniently listed so you never miss a kaddish. The cost is $8 per listing and with the purchase of at least one listing, you'll also get a free New Year Greeting, "L'Shanah Tovah from..."

You can download this form for both types of ads. Alternatively, you can submit online here for the Business Directory and here for lifecycle events. Please submit all forms by Monday, July 15.
