b) The Chair then began the review of the draft takanon, article by article. For comment or
suggestion, members were asked to make themselves known to the Chair. Process: Once
the review is completed, with whatever additional changes have been made, and a vote is
held to accept the full takanon, it will be sent to the lawyer who will then be able to
proceed with the process of becoming an amutah.
The draft takanon was reviewed virtually without comment and approved unanimously.
A question was raised about the use of a “macher” to help us achieve our goal with the city.
The Chair noted that this was briefly considered, but we were advised that this might be
counter-productive.
It was correctly pointed out that the takanon will likely have to be translated into Hebrew,
which would then become the official version for submission with the Amutah application.
As well, the lawyer might suggest changes as required by the Law of Amutot.
1) Election of the Vaad: The Committee had suggested a slate of Vaad members. No other
nominations were received, but members were given the opportunity to put forward names for
nominations in addition to the slate.
There being no further nominations, the Chair declared the slate elected by acclimation:
Elected for a term of two years: Elected for a term of one year:
Kal Feinberg Sabine Himmelfarb
Shmuel Goldin Marilyn Mack
Sam Kapustin Jack Martell
Marty Weisberg
2) G & W: The following issues were raised, to which the Chair responded.
a) Suggestion that the Shabbat minyan time be changed from 8:00 to 8:30 – the Board will look
at it.
b) Will there be an opportunity for the membership to become involved? The Board will likely
send out a questionnaire so that people may volunteer for committees.
c) How does membership in KST affect Yael membership? Everyone in that situation will have
to decide if they wish to remain a member of Yael. It is an individual decision.
d) Is the Tunisian shul an option? Apparently not; we have yet to get a straight answer from
them. They do not intend to seek a Tofes 4.
e) Thanks to Sam Kapustin for work done for KST.
f) It was noted that we all should value the sense of community that has developed and that
we should maintain and strengthen in the future.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:32. Approximately 50 people in attendance.
