Inflation In Lubavitch, High Holiday Seats In 770 Going Up 11%
Shmais
Anash and visitors who are interested in purchasing seats in 770 for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur 5766 will have to pay 11% more than they did last year.
This year, seats are going for $250, while last year they sold for $225 each. The price includes membership, which can be purchased on its own for $100 for those who don’t buy seats.
In a letter signed by the Gaboyim they write that the price increase is “due to the increased costs of maintaining the Shul.”
According to a reliable source who spoke to SNS on the condition of anonymity, in total, there are about 1400 seats sold and the hope is that the extra $25 per seat will bring in another $35,000 of much needed funds.
