Hillside's Genizah is currently accepting donations.
Hillside is honored to provide our local community with a Genizah for burial of Shemot, which may include Torah books, Bibles, scrolls, benchers, Torah mantles/sashes, and any items that may have been in direct contact with a Torah scroll. Maintaining a Genizah is a responsibility that Hillside takes great pride in, and we ask that those in our community respect the sacredness of the objects intended for burial by refraining from donating items that do not fall into this sacred category.
Hillside is unable to accept any materials that have not been properly sorted prior to drop off.
At this time, Hillside is only able to accept a maximum of two boxes no larger than 12 x 10 x 15 each.
Genizah Donations are accepted Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00am and 4:00pm.
Please sort through sacred materials prior to drop off.
Please do not put anything in plastic, as it is not biodegradable.
Please note, the Genizah is not a depository for personal items, personal mail, calendars, newspapers, solicitations, magazines or school workbooks. It is not respectful to mix these items with sacred materials. Items such as kippot, audio/visual materials, computer disks, diagrams or pictures without text or newspapers that do not contain sections of Torah do not need to be brought to the Genizah.
