Recording attendance at Synagogue for the purpose of
completing a Certificate of Religious Practice (“CRP”)
1. Any person who wishes to have their attendance recorded for the purposes of a CRP (“the
Attendee”) must submit his/her, and his/her child’s, full name, address and date of birth to
the synagogue administrator, as soon as possible, but not later than 10 am two days before
the first Sabbath on which he/she wishes his/her attendance to be recorded.
2. The Shul administrator will create a Register of attendance to be used for each Shabbat
service.
3. A Registration Officer (RO) has been appointed who is responsible for the Register and
will ensure that attendances are properly recorded.
4. On Shabbat the Attendee and his/her child must report in person to the RO on
each occasion they attend synagogue, and may be asked to confirm their address and date of
birth.
5. The Register will be open each Shabbat - between 10.30 am and 11 am, in the Bridal room.
6. For weekday attendance, please report to either the Rabbi or an Honorary Officer who will
make an appropriate record which will be retained for future reference.
7. All records will be confidential, and will only be used to enable the authorised official
to sign the CRP.
Note: A copy of this procedure will be displayed in the synagogue and on our website and is
also available on request. It has been made public so that visitors to the synagogue can be
clear at an early stage about what they will need to do in order to comply.
