Rabbi Recommendation:
"I am pleased to offer my recommendation of Shelly Shotel. She and I have worked together over the last 14 years at Temple Sinai. Her creativity is second-to-none and the relationship that she has built with her students and the families of our congregation is not only impressive, but a shining example of her good nature and dedication to our synagogue."
Adam M. Wohlberg, Rabbi
Bar/Bat Mitzvah Decor:
"Since planning a Bar Mitzvah can be so stressful, Shelly is a blessing in the process. Shelly created spectacular Bar Mitzvah invitations for both of my children. People from near and far sought me out to tell me how amazingly beautiful they were. Shelly is the most creative person I know. She and her team are wonderful to work with and they can do ANYTHING. If you can imagine it, they can create it."
