allow the Amutah to begin collecting funds very soon to cover initial expenses (legal fees etc.)
and allow check-writing to pay expenses.
Request for 300 shekel per family (150 shekel per individual) will be sent to all who signed their
interest in joining the Kehillah. A questionnaire will also be included to ask for volunteers for
seven standing committees that the Kehillah will form (e.g., Building and Maintenance,
Fundraising, Communication, Education and Social, Chesed etc.)

3. Communication to membership: Minutes of the General meeting (February 22) were approved
and will be sent to prospective members along with questionnaire about interests in
participating in committees, (e.g., Building and Maintenance, Fundraising, Communication,
Education and Social, Chesed etc,) A request for initial dues payment and the final version of
Takanon (By Laws) will also be sent. Minutes of Va’ad meetings will be presented to Va’ad for
approval after each meeting. Va’ad will meet every two months with additional meetings as
needed. Every meeting in future will begin with a Dvar Torah.

4. Building issues- Sam reported that we are still waiting to hear from the Iriya about approval for
the space we hope to use. Kal will explore options of temporary structures (tent etc.).
Additionally, he will explore a temporary portable bathroom facility. There was discussion
about the Tunisian synagogue which expects to open Rosh Chodesh Nisan, however, without
building permits. Therefore, it is not an option to rent space from that synagogue.
