Guide to Establishing an Independent Treasury

 

1. Gather a “minyan” (quorum) including at least 10 adult males plus any number of additional men and women

2. Select a direct civil representative - a “Captain of 10” ("C10") from among the assembled individuals. A member of the community must be 18 years of age in order to be eligible for the position of Sar Eser.

3. Execute a “Power of Attorney” (may be limited in scope)

4. Formally instruct the "C10" to gather a minyan of C10's

5. Select at least three “treasurers”

> two treasurers must be present for collections

> three treasurers must be present for disbursements

6. Collect Basic Community “tax” (“half of a full-weight portion”) 

The word “Shekel” means “weight”.

One Maneh weighs one common standard “portion” – one Troy ounce.

The term “Maneh” is derived from the “portion” collected for the purpose of the “counting”

Annual "Tax" (Membership "Dues") paid as two ½ Silver Maneh Tziburi (“half of a “communal portion”)  

> / or 600NIS 

…which includes deposit 200NIS for “membership card”

(in the form of a 1/2 Silver Maneh Tziburi)

> taxes are held (“in trust”) by the treasurers, and may be requested for disbursal by the C10

> additional taxation for community expenses is subject to approval by the taxpayers

> taxpayers are entitled to vote 

7. Gather a minyan of C10s

8. Select three “Community Elders” from among the ten assembled C10s. 

9. These three Community Elders decide amongst themselves which one will be the C100; the other two are, by default, “C50's”. All three “Community Elders”, individually and concurrently, represent the same specific ten C10s. 

10. Execute a “Power of Attorney” for each of these three Elders 

11. Formally instruct the C100 to gather a minyan of C100s 

12. Formally instruct the three Elders to institute the local Community Council of Seven and the local community court of 23 – Thirty Elders. 

13. Gather a minyan of C100s and elect a C1000. 

14. Execute a “Power of Attorney” for the C1000 

15. Formally instruct the C1000 to gather a minyan of C1000 (National Council) 

16. Gather all Elders (30 C50s, 10 of which are C100s, and one is also C1000) and convene the local court of 92 and the local council of 28, totaling 120. 

17. Establish independent Treasury for the Community of 1000 with an apportioned percentage of the basic tax. This percentage is fixed at 20% or 1 “whole” Silver Maneh per Minyan of 10. The total amount of “half-shekels” apportioned and disbursed to the Community Treasury by the 100 Sarei Eser of the participating minyanim will be a minimum of 100 Silver Maneh.

∆ Members may acquire additional Silver Maneh by leaving a deposit (400NIS/Silver Maneh) with the Treasury.

Silver Maneh may be used by "Local First" type "minyanim"
