5783
Members and Friends of Kehilat Nitzanim,
We invite you to renew your Beit Knesset membership for 5783 and reserve seats for the Yamim Noraim. For those who are not yet members, we encourage you to join the Beit Knesset as members of the Amutah or on an annual basis.
Please complete the membership/seating form below and return it to us by email as soon as possible. (yamimnoraim5783@gmail.com).
Every effort will be made to accommodate your preferences, however, please understand that we cannot guarantee seats at the minyan of your choice. Members of the Amuta will be given first preference. We also cannot guarantee that married children or guests will be seated near you.
The seats assigned to you for Yamim Noraim do not automatically become your seats for the duration of the year. This applies in all parts of the Beit Knesset.
We thank all of you who have contributed generously to our shul throughout the year and invite those who have not yet contributed to take this opportunity to do so. All support is greatly appreciated.
Amutah membership
The fee to become a member of the Amutah is NIS 15,000 which can be paid over a 3-year period. Amutah membership for singles and children of amutah members is NIS 7,500 which is also payable over a 3-year period.
Some of the benefits of Amutah membership include voting rights, reduced annual membership fees, and substantially reduced rates for rental of the Landau Social hall.
We have raised the rates for membership slightly this year for the first time in over 10 years. As we all know, the cost of living has increased this past year. Additionally, the shul has paid for numerous improvements from the general funds over the last 2 years. We have leveled, cleaned, and paved the right side of the shul which has added over 200 sq. meters of usable space to the shul. During Corona this area served as an everyday, Friday night, and Shabbat morning minyan. You may recall that this area was an eye sore and totally unusable. Presently, the weekly children’s minyanim meet in that area. We also replaced one of the two main air conditioners in the main shul and will need to replace the other one during the course of this year. We painted the main sanctuary and fixed the roof which was leaking into the main sanctuary. All of these improvements and regular ongoing maintenance costs were paid from the general funds from the shul.

Policies and payments:
Forms and payment should be submitted by Rosh Chodesh Elul (28.8.22). Members whose forms and payment are received on time will receive priority processing. After Rosh Chodesh Elul, non-members’ reservations will be processed. We will do our best to fulfill any request you may have but cannot make guarantees.
Be aware that seats are only reserved once payment is received. We urge everyone to pay online as you will receive your receipt instantaneously. If you need help paying online, please contact Moshe Schecter (054 656 8288), Larry Shafier (058 666 6451), Elliot Fidler (052 680 7916) or Eli Kadosh (050 239 9537) who will assist you with making the payment. If payment is made by bank transfer or PEF, please send the relevant confirmation by email yamimnoraim5783@gmail.com
For payments made online you will receive your receipt immediately. Receipts for payments made via bank transfer or PEF will take up to one month to receive.
Seat fees for the Yamim Noraim include both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur but we ask that you let us know if any of your seats will be unused on either of the chagim.
The Vaad of the Beit Knesset would like to thank all those who have helped ensure the smooth running of the Beit Knesset during the past exceedingly difficult year as well as all those who have made donations so we can continue to operate a full schedule of activities, shiurim and tefilot.
We ask מחילה וסליחה from any and every member of the Beit Knesset whom we may have inadvertently offended in any manner during the past year, and wish you, your family and all of the House of Israel a very healthy, happy and peaceful New Year.
