After ending discounts on Tishrei seats, the Gabboim of 770 has posted new rules for Tishrei seating for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur in Beis Chayeinu.

Under the new rules, the seat is for the individual paying and no one else. “Should multiple people be found using the same seat, it will result in the forfeiture of the right to repurchase it in the future.”

Full List:

Shul Regulations Regarding Seat Assignments for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur:

1) The Gaboim will announce seat prices on or around Rosh Chodesh Elul.

2) Anyone who bought a seat in the previous year retains the right to repurchase it for the upcoming year. No additional rights will be granted.

3) Failure to contact the shul regarding the seat by Motzoey Shabbos Slichos will result in forfeiture of the right to repurchase it. The Shul is not obliged to initiate contact with the owner, and no exceptions will
be made.

4) Payment should be made from Rosh Chodesh Elul until the following 15th of Av. The payment responsibility rests with the owner of the seat. In the event of incomplete payment, the owner will forfeit
their right to the seat.

5) Unsettled debts, regardless of their nature, to the Shul are grounds for seat expropriation.

6) Excessive effort in collecting payment for the seat is grounds for seat expropriation.

7) The seat will exclusively display the buyer’s name, with no other names appearing. The buyer is the legitimate owner of the seat and holds the complete right to renew the seat purchase for the following year.

8) Any modification or addition to the name on the label will result in an additional charge of $50. In cases where there are two names on the label, the first name listed will have exclusive rights to purchase the seat for the following year.

9) The seat is intended for a single individual. Should multiple people be found using the same seat, it will result in the forfeiture of the right to repurchase it in the future.

10) The right to the seat is for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur tefillos only.

11) The payment for the scat is regarded as “Shul membership fee” for the forthcoming year.

12) The seats are the property of the Shul, and the Shul possesses the authority to make decisions regarding seat assignments, in accordance with Halacha, as determined by the Beis Din of Crown Heights. In any dispute, the Shul maintains the Halachic upper hand.
