Who Owes A Synagogue When It Closes Its Doors For Good?.

.Traditionally when a group of Jews want to start a Synagogue, they get together, start a building fund , each prospective congregation members puts up x amount of money. either donated, a loan of some sorts , I am presuming that there is paper work somewhere along the line. there is an elected President , they interview and hire a Rabbi , either rent an apartment or buy a house for the Rabbi to reside in, when the loans are satisfied and the congregation moves away. traditionally the president of the Shul is supposed to take the money from the sale and put it toward s the next synagogue that he is involved with that opens up in the future, Is he the legal trustee and l allowed to 1. perform the transaction of the sale of the temples land and or building and if so what obligations does he have by law to follow out any plan at all? This is a major grey area of the law ,after all this is not a Church who owns and oversees the individual houses of Worship it’s strictly congregational. My Grandfather told me such a story that when the members moved away from his Synagogue in Williamsburg Brooklyn and it was closed down Circa1956 he later ( my Grandfather) ran into the Shuls president in Canarsie Brooklyn and gave him Hell for pocketing the proceeds of the sale and doing with it as he wished. I know Jewish center that is up for sale and I wonder whats the story and whos in charge of overseeing the sale and perspective proceeds of the sale ..don’t you?

Debunking The Myth That All Jews Are Doctors And Lawyers


I personally grew up in the 40′s 50′s and 60′s in N.Y.C., thou we didn’t live in some slum out an old movie , never the less my family was poor, low income, not middle class by a long shot. We live in a 1 bedroom apartment . for about a good dozen years and graduated to 2 bedroom apt , when some other poor soul moved away or died in our old apartment building, My parents biggest Dreams was to get in a city housing project.

  • Most of my extended family was living there already or in other low cost apartments, We weren’t home owners or even collage educated .I was all grownup and out of the service when my parented put together enough for a house of their own. We were like the Beverly Hillbillies in the neighborhood , not the original owners who were of my ethnic group for the most part and were to ritzy to associate with us,the men in the neighborhood all had good jobs,collage educated and the women didn’t work they stayed home and ate chocolates all day.Both my parents worked my father worked in a shoe factory as a skiver most of his life,My mother found luck late in life and secured good job as a mortgage possessor enabling us to have house at last. In my day no lower income Jew or white went on to collage for the most part, Vietnam changed that forever. All my relatives went into the service and for the most part worked low level blue collar jobs, when I move to the suburbs I was the only Jew working in the warehouse , it wasn’t fun and was never really accepted by my fellow workers as own of the guys at work, I put all My savings and went to work for myself as a day old bread store operator .When I hear the whispers that all Jews Are rich . It make my blood boil. There was and are many Jewish families struggling today who just don’t fit that stereotype..end

Freedom Or Prison… You Decide

Jonathan PollardLight Orchid Jonathon Pollard Today

Whats  Your Take?


Pollard Should Be Pardoned and Deported…

Jonathon Pollard is an embarrassment to American Jews, Not only he pass U.S. secrets to a foreign power , he was paid for it as well, having said that he made a plea bargain deal , where he was to receive a specific sentence . signed the plea bargain agreement, in so admitting guilt, it then was scraped by some say, correct me if I”m wrong by the pressure from then secretary of defense Casper Weinburger. who was a convert from Judaism and his motives were at the least suspect, some say Antisemitic as a former Jew. once Pollard had admitted guilt in the plea deal affidavit, his deal was scraped and he wasn’t given a fair trial, but just sentenced guilty. make no mistake about it , but he served his time and should be paroled then deported , also U.S. Jews should make some sort of to noise to their various organization supporting Israel that American Jews want Isral to decease and disit in any future Spying on The U.S.as it is an and embarasment and counterproductive to American Jewish Interest. …end
