Donation information Donations within Japan can be made with a postal transfer form known in Japanese as “Yubin Furikomi”. The account number for Ohel Shelomo is 00900-8-189531. Feel free to call for further information at 078-221-7236 to contact the synagogue if you want to sponsor a kiddush. Payments can also be mailed or, except on Shabbat or Yom Tov, brought directly to the following snail mail address: The Jewish Community of Kansai/Japan – Kitano-cho 4-12-12 Chuo-Ku, Kobe, Japan 650-0002. Cash payments within Japan need to be sent “genkin kakitome”, cash registered mail. As the fee for this is much higher than for the postal transfer form and one must send either type of payment from a post office, the transfer form is highly recommended.
