Bemare Habazak - Rabbis Questions Kedushat Beit Knesset of a Rented Building
Clients of mine want to rent out a building that has served for a family business to a religious group, who will use part of it as a shul. They are concerned that if things do not work out, they will get back control of the building with some of it having the restrictions of a shul, which would restrict their use of it. Is this a problem, and if so what can be done to obviate the problem?
Bemare Habazak - Rabbis Questions Sefarim under Seats
In our shul, the seats have drawers underneath them to store chumashim, siddurim, etc. Thus, we sit over these books. Is that allowed?
Bemare Habazak - Rabbis Questions Donating a Sefer Torah to a Shul
