Question

In our synagogue, there is a notice stating that items not claimed will be considered ownerless, as is customary in synagogues. The items have accumulated and are about to be thrown away. My question is, am I allowed to take an umbrella or similar items for personal use from there? I should note that not everyone entering the synagogue necessarily sees the notice... and is it permissible to throw the items away?

Answer

Hello,

The notice is effective, and it is permissible to take the items left there.
