Gmachs(borrow/rent) *Some gmachs charge a fee, be sure to clarify ahead of time.      

 If you wish to have your listing added to the gmach list, you must email the information along with your guarantee that you are authorized to represent the gmach. If the information, number, prices listed, or hours change, it is up to you to send the updated information. I will kindly update it at your request. I will also gladly remove listings per request. Just have the decency to phrase your request politely. The listings are here for the convenience of the very people that gmachs are designed to serve, which is why I help out by offering the listings free -- both to the gmachs  and to those who seek them out.  Gmach, after all stands for gmilus chasadim, which is the spirit in which the institutions are meant to operate -- not as businesses.
