Beita's Gabbai Community
We're building a community of synagogue gabbaim from across Israel — Sephardi, Ashkenazi, Chabad, small shuls and large ones — to consult, share templates and solve problems together. Join now as a founding member, free.

The topics that bring us together
What's on gabbaim's minds across Israel — and what we'll work through together, gabbai to gabbai.
Holiday logistics
Prayer schedules for the chagim, taking out the Torah scrolls, selichot timing. Ready-made templates other gabbaim have shared.
Bringing in new congregants
Approaches that have worked for other communities to build up Monday/Thursday minyanim. Real ideas from the field.
Donations & campaigns
Tips for increasing donations. Success stories. Mistakes worth avoiding.
Ceremonies & special events
Brit milah, bar mitzvah, weddings, mourning — how to manage them without missing a single congregant.
Technology & infrastructure
Which streaming device works best for the TV? Which WiFi setup for a shul? Recommendations from gabbaim who've already been through it.
Board & leadership
How to build an active board, how to make decisions without stepping on toes, how to hold up under pressure.
Join in under 60 seconds
This isn't a polished forum — it's a WhatsApp group we're building together. Simple and effective.
Tap the link above
You'll land in Beita's WhatsApp group. No sign-up required.
The Beita team will say hello
Tell us about your shul and what's on your mind — and we'll introduce you to the other founding members.
Ask, share, help others
That's how it works. A gabbai asks — the community answers. You can pay it forward once you've gotten help yourself.
Gabbai meetups, down the road
Later on we'll organize national gabbai meetups — in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv or Tiberias. As a founding member, you'll be the first to be invited.
Every gabbai deals with the same challenges alone — prayer schedules, holiday templates, running the board. We're building this community so none of us has to reinvent the wheel on our own. Let's build it together.
Don't be a gabbai alone
Every gabbai in the group faces the same challenges. Make it easier on yourself.
