THANEf AND DISTRICT REFORM JEWISH SYNAGOGUE
REPORT OF THE SYNAGOGUE COUNCIL
For the year endod 31 December 2021
REVIEW OF PROGRESS
I became Chair at the 2021 AGM. I want to express thanks on behaw of everyone to lan
for his slerfing Seprfi￿ as Chair over the past 10 years and l am very pleased that lan
has agreed to remain on Council in the post of Treasurer. Also standing dowm was our
representative at the Board of Deputies, Dav￿ Fox. and I want to thank David for his
time representing us at this Irnp￿ant communty bC￿y. l also take this opportunty to
7•￿IcOMe Lary Ray as our new representative and wish him well.
For our Synagogue 2021 was another challenging year, with COVID still rampant in the
country the Synagogue's premises remained dosed to in-person events with activities
taking place online via Zoom. This included serrfi¢es for Shabbat and festivals and other
notsble dates in the calendar as well as Cheder classes. These events were well
supported by memkrs and friends, and this support bodes well for the future.
Nonetheless, Council is aware online events do not work for everyone and has be@n
very keen to recommen￿ in person events as soon as safe and possible. I have
represented our Synagogue at regular Refomi JLKlaism communty leadership meetings
and other events that they hold.
Throughout the year we also kept in touch wtth members and friends with regular
'What's On. flyers and the newsletter "Elz Chaim.. We continued to represent the
Jewish communty at events such as the Hok)caust Memorial Day adivities and other
local events.
2021 proved to be the wrong time to host an appEal to fundraisers and no new monies
were forthcoming. CoutAed with COVFD related and wider problems in the construrtion
industry the proposed building works have had to be delayed and will now be
undertaken in stages with the first stage cOmmen￿ng in the course of 2022. This will
include kitchen, toilets and new a disabled entrance leading to a revamped porch. Also,
repairs to the flat roofs over the side rooms which were partially vandalised with theft of
lead flashing.
The SOS appeal to raise funds for repairs to the Klatovy Sefer Torah come to a close
and S want to thank everyone who donated, the apFeal was very successfijl indeed. The
works required have woven to te more extensive than originally envisaged. and will not
be completed unts'l late 2022.
The future for the Synagogue looks very promising with new members joining as well as
additions to the leadership team and new lay readers all to take us forwards as we
reopen the doors to in-person services and activities in the spring of 2022.
ACCOUNTS
The Synagogue's accounts appear on pages 6 - 14 of this report.
