Welcome to The Gabbai's Resource

Read about the November 10, 2023 update.

My name is Joshua Males. I used to be the gabbai of a shul called Kehilat Rimonim, located in the old age home in the San Simon neighborhood of Jerusalem. During my tenure, I began typing up various documents to assist in the job. I am now making these documents available via the Internet.

On September 1st, 1997, I moved to the Binyamin region community of Maale Michmas, where, on April 2nd, 1998, I was elected gabbai. Since then, I have continued to update the site.

Special Thanks

To Dr. Baruch Schwartz of Efrat, my gabba'ut-guru, for answering my questions and for providing me with a genuine copy of the official Misheberach book from the Central Synagogue of Givat Rimon, Efrat.

To my nikud experts Moshe Meron (z"l) and Yehudah Cohen of Maale Michmas.

To Micha Males, my brother, for his HTML wizardry in creating the original page and for advising me on my frequent updating.
