KEHILAT BEIS TEFILLAH BUILDING CAMPAIGN
Reserve Your Permanent Seats Today!
Baruch Hashem, the Beis Tefillah community has grown by leaps and
bounds over the last year. As you are undoubtedly aware, we are in dire
need of a building in order to accommodate our davening and learning
needs. Although we have been able to establish our own homes in RBS in
apartments or houses, we have yet to institute a viable physical structure
for our communal spiritual growth. The responsibility now falls on all of
us to make a financial contribution towards the building of an adequate
shul/ beis medrash.
The board has decided that the building fund commitment will be $2000,
which is equivalent to the other shuls in the area, payable over a
two-year period. As per the Rav’s ruling, ma’aser money may be used for
this endeavor.
The plans for the future beis medrash are now displayed in the shul.
Each row in the beis medrash is accompanied with a number. When you make
your $2,000 commitment, you then can choose your row that will become your
family’s makom kavuah. It will also complete your membership
responsibilities vis-ŕ-vis the building fund, and allow you to have
membership privileges for use of the future shul, social hall, and
facilities. Reservation of permanent rows will be allocated on a first
come, first serve basis, not based on seniority, age, number of children,
etc. As soon as you make your commitment, you will be entitled to reserve
a makom kavuah.
Benjamin Fishman has again selflessly volunteered to dedicate his time
in collecting for the building fund. He lives at Nachal Refaim 23/6 and is
available daily from 9:00 AM-7:00 PM. All arrangements must be done with
him in person. No pledge will be taken over the telephone.
Anyone who would like to help in raising funds for the shul should
approach Benjamin Fishman or Benjy Kwalwasser. The community is on the
verge of making great strides in providing a Mikdash ma’at that is
functional and conducive to our collective needs. The board and building
committee appreciate all of your support in helping Kehilat Beis Tefillah
fulfill its vision.
