unknown door is probably the side door and knows the combination, i daven in that shul and know it like the back of my hand
And. Your point is
my point is I wouldn’t be surprised if it was someone from the community
Name of shul is Adas Yereim (not Yerem), commonly known as Teitelbaum’s.
It’s sad that someone felt he needed to steal the money.
We know what shul it is who cares about the spelling
I have always thought that the pushkas should be emptied more often, so that the accumulation of cash at any one time is kept low. I suppose the number of thefts is low, so that the people responsible for the security of the donations do not find it necessary to collect the collections more often.
