We had a meeting of the shul committee today. As usual, much discussion about money. Our building was purchased in 1945 and has been poorly maintained over the years, and many problems are now surfacing. We spent a fortune (by our standards) a few years ago fixing the gas, now it looks like we are going to have to spend another 10K or so fixing the electricity, which is a lot of money for a small community like ours. Depressing... donations are very welcome!
On a more positive note, there was an interesting discussion of trying to attract a PhD student to Aberdeen Uni, who would also serve as a part-time rabbi for our community, in return for us providing free accomodation in one of the shul flats. A lot of details are unclear and need to be discussed, but it certainly would be nice to have someone like this around!
