REPORT OF THE SYNAGOGUE COUNCIL
For the year ended 31 December 2022
REVIEW OF PROGRESS
I became Chair early March 2023 following the sudden resignation of existing incumbent
Tim Spurrier. I want to expre85 thanks on behaw of everyone to Tim for his time as Chair,
especially as he took onboard the thallenging tssk of steering the building improvements
that we now enjoy in our Synagogue.
The past year has been a period of relum. Wrth the reopening of the wernises {albeit
limited by the building works) once again ¥￿ were abte to enjoy in-person services,
events and Cheder classes. This included seprfi￿s for Shabbat, High Holy Days and
festivals as well as other notable dates in the calendar. INhilst these were well supported
by members and friends it has taken time for attendance numbers to return to pre-
pandemic levels. To support the new ways of living and those who cannot travel Council
has kept some of the Erev Shabbat services online. arKI to foster greater communal
togetherness intrc4Juced a monthly family in-person Erev Shabbat service followed by a
communal meal.
ThroughoLrt the year we also kept in touch with members and friends with regular Wiat's
On. flyers and online newsletter"Etz Chaim". Also, we continued to represent the Jewish
communty at events such as the Holocaust Memorial Day acttvities and other local
events. We also continue to be affiliated to the Movement for Reform Judaism and have
representation at the Board of Deputies of Brrtish Jew5.
As already mentioned, the first phase of th8 premises improvements was wmpleted,
including much improved ramp access and on-site facilities for disabled people, a re-
designed wrch area and a new kn'tchen. Unfortunately. Sin￿ COVID the cost of building
materials has risen sharply and these works severely depleted our cash resetves.
Furthemiore, the flat roots damaged after theft of flashing were found to be in an
advanced state of decay and have had to be re-built rather than repaired. All works have
now ceased whilst we look at new ways to raise capital in preparation for the next phase.
Repairs to our Klatovy Sefer Torah were completed wtth a Siyyum Servi￿ planned for
the spring of 2023.
In the year we attrac￿ a net increase in membership numbers, some with children who
now attend the thriwng Cheder classes. 2023 will be a year of recovery and consolidation
as Council looks to develop the servi￿8 offered to the communty and, l¢)oking further
fotwards, move the Synagogue to a new CIO legal status.
