Sinai Synagogue AGM 5781 (2021): Chair’s Report
It seems trite to say that 2020 was an exceptionally challenging year: everyone knows this. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been devastating, and Sinai did not escape this. It is right to first acknowledge those members, and friends of members, lost to Covid, and those who have been impacted with its lasting effects. The memories of those lost will forever be for a blessing, and we wish those carrying the effects of Covid refuah salemah: a complete and speedy recovery.
I reported last year that I was very keen to try and change the nature of the work of trustees. With their efforts we have created a new reality for our trustee meetings, where the first half of meetings focus on the operational aspect of our work eg reports, accounts, building issues etc: the day-to-day aspects of the Synagogue. The second half of the meeting has been turned over to strategy and focused discussions on areas of Synagogue life. All this work is still framed within the three highest mitzvot (commandments) in Judaism: pikuach nefesh (saving a soul), taharat ha’met (the accompanying of the dead to burial) and hachnasat orchim (hospitality).
As such, our meetings are no longer two hours of transactional discussions, but allow us time to think, imagine and help create new realities for the future of our community. This chance for the community’s leadership to look forward, empower others to take on responsibilities and free time for themselves to imagine the future, is essential to our community’s future.
In the first few months of the year we continued our work imagining how Sinai could grow and thrive as a Progressive Jewish community. Once into lockdown we had to turn our attention to other challenging and hard decisions, work to ensure our community survived the pandemic, and had firm foundations for the end of lockdown. We also took the difficult decision to remain closed, with pikuach nefesh (saving a soul) firmly at the centre of this decision, when other synagogues re-opened.
Rabbi Strasko ensured that our Shabbat services continued to reach our members, building on the video streaming Rabbi Morris instigated whilst he was Rabbi. Through this system, with the addition of member-led monthly services and weekly Kiddush & Kaddish meetings means that ‘attendance’ at our Shabbat services exponentially grew. He also created new ways of performing tahara (preparing a body for burial) and funeral and shiva (mourning) services. Elements of all of these changes will more than likely remain long into our future as part of the new normal. ‘A mention in Dispatches’ is in order for Brian Teeman who, along with Simon Marcus and Matt Thornfield, helped ensure our technology hardly missed a beat.
In addition, Rabbi Strasko, assisted by a wide range of members, led our community through an exceptional series of online High Holy Days services. Reaching nearly a thousand people across the world, even the Rabbi’s brief period of illness around Yom Kippur was not enough to throw off the work done over the preceding months to create a brand new way of marking this central point of the Jewish year.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2020
## **Achievements and performance - continued**
Through National Lottery funding, we were able to invest in creating a community development post focussed on reaching out to our members. The post was created in time for us to be able to arrange for hundreds of High Holy Day gift packs to be distributed, using tens of volunteers, followed by Chanukah packs later in the year, and much work in between. This work is detailed elsewhere in this report.
Full comment on the synagogue accounts is contained within the accounts themselves, and I want to pay particular tribute to the work of our former treasurer Sam Harvey, and current treasurer Bernard Nelson, and our accountants WYCAS, in their efforts to prepare the accounts. I want to recognise the work led by Sam to bring up-to-date the ten-year forecast done by previous treasurers Jonathan Lewis and Dolf Mogendorff. She helped create the three-year budget presented to members in December. When I became a trustee almost ten years ago the synagogue was using tens of thousands of Pounds of its reserves every year to prop up its costs. This has now dropped to a loss of £13,000pa - around seven times less than my first year as a trustee. Still too much, and work continues to eradicate this.
Dozens and dozens of members of Sinai volunteer to help make our community work. As is traditional to say, there are too many to mention here. However, I want to highlight Ken Ellis. One wonderful gift I will be passing on to my successor in the chair is that 2022 will mark forty years of Ken being Sinai’s gardener. And it’s not all he has done for our community in that time. But, I will leave those details for however our community chooses to mark his long service. Would that we all gave this level of service to Sinai.
I want to thank our staff too, who have gone above and beyond, particularly during the pandemic. Our office administrator Heidi Sizer has been a backbone of our work. Andy Ingleby, our caretaker, has been in and out of furlough as government regulations changed, sometimes within only days of notice, and yet has still helped ensure our building remained safe and ready to use. We saw Gwynneth Lewis take early retirement, following a dozen years of service to Sinai, and Naomi Goldman, whose infectious enthusiasm will now benefit the whole Jewish community in her new role.
Of course it would be remiss of me too not to mention Rabbi Strasko’s retirement from the rabbinate, albeit just after the end of 2020. His contribution to Sinai, at this most difficult time in our history, has been quite amazing. He created a new normal to enable our community to continue during lockdown, and this gift to Sinai will never be forgotten.
Finally I would like to thank all the trustees of Sinai I worked with. The challenges we faced in 2020, many of which we had not even considered when the year started, would have tested the strongest of teams. To a person, they have stood up to be counted, given freely of their time and skills and ensured that our discussions were robust, honest and, above all l’shem shamayim: for the sake of heaven. Through all the challenging times I faced as chair this year, they were always there to share the load. They are wonderful people who deserve the thanks of all our members.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2020
## **Financial review**
Sinai’s annual accounts for 2020 reflect an effective management of the budget that has resulted in a reduction of the deficit from £26,832 to £14,590. This has been mainly due to an increase in subscriptions.
Total income increased from £205,146 to £216,871 (an increase of £11,725), whilst total expenditure was slightly down to £231,461 (a reduction of £517). The increase in income was due to an increase in subscriptions, government funding towards furloughed staff employment costs and a grant from the National Lottery Fund for outreach work. These increases more than offset a reduction in income from donations and legacies, fundraising and charitable activities, which were impacted by the Covid 19 pandemic.
The trustees’ agreed priority for 2020 was to continue to target and reduce the deficit in Sinai’s current account. Whilst a reduction in the annual deficit was achieved, expenditure for the year again exceeded total income and the trustees have agreed and budgeted for increased fundraising activity over 2021. Whilst a 3 year plan was prepared towards the end of 2020, this will now need to be revised due to the subsequent announcement of Rabbi Strasko’s early retirement.
The continued use of accounting methods from 2018 have ensured that the income and expenditure accounts have provided greater detail to the trustees to give them the ability to see precisely where funds have been accrued and disbursed. This allows for greater scrutiny to be carried out by the trustees and ensure accountability in the fine details of the accounts. It will also allow for more informed decisions to be carried out concerning future deficit reduction and planning.
## **Reserves policy**
The current reserves policy is to maintain the level of reserves (where funds are available) to be sufficient to bridge any deficit between revenue and the normal running expenditure of the synagogue. The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £188100.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2020
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Sinai Synagogue, Leeds
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 8 to 15.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- 4 the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## Notes to the accounts
## for the year ended 31 December 2020
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Basis of accounting**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.
## **Going concern**
The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## **Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
## **Expenditure and liabilities**
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## **Grants payable with performance conditions**
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
## **Grants payable without performance conditions**
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.
## **Taxation**
As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

## **Pensions**
