Summary by Micha Kushner
Pessach Summary
- The Chol HaMoed Shacharis Minyans ran smoothly. (6:20, 8:15 inside, 7:15, 9:00 outside)
- The 9am Shacharis should not start until BHZ (and not when the clocks change to summer time, as was the case this year 2 days before BHZ).
Summer Schedule
- Shavuos Shacharis will be 8:20 (instead of 8:00).
- Sponsorship of the summer schedule is available for 250NIS.
- The “late” Shacharis (8:45 at the moment) will only be on Fridays.
Yom Iyun on Yom HaAtzmaut
- Bet Zvi is organizing the Yom Iyun.
- The Yom Iyun will be free, but there will be a Pushka for anyone who wants to donate on the food table.
- Yitzchak Reichenberg will set up food.
- Lev is making poster and publicizing.
Siddur for Sha”tz
- One of the donated Sha”tz Siddurs is missing. Maybe it is somewhere in the Shul.
- It was proposed buying a leather-bound Siddur and offering it as a sponsorship opportunity.
- After we have a concrete price, we will decide about offering sponsorship.
Lag BaOmer
- This year will be Motzash. There will not be an Avos Ubanim before the bonfire.
- The Shul will buy ices to hand out for free again this year.
- The Shul will organize the hot dog sale. Exact details to be determined.
- Last year too many hot dogs and rolls were bought.
- The Shul will allow the sale of popcorn and cotton candy. Many people enjoy the carnival atmosphere.
- There was discussion about drinks. Although we want to offer drinks to the Tzibbur, free drinks cause a mess and wasted drinks. Several proposals were suggested, including giving a free cup of soda to whoever buys a hotdog. (e.g. 3NIS buys 2 dogs in a bun with a cup of soda).
- This not does not give a solution for adults who want to drink something but are not buying a hotdog.
- There is an issue of freshness of rolls bought on Friday for Motzash. We can freeze them.
Other Issues
- A gardener was to cut down weeds in front of Shul. The weeds can cause problems with the A/C. The gardener cut down some weeds but said he will spray to kill the rest.
- Lev is in the process of opening bank account for American Friends of Ahavas Shalom at Signature Bank.
- The 2016 Amuta Reports are nearing completion.
