Attention! Special operation of CIL and CIP in September

September is a month that brings together important dates for Judaism. Following the Jewish tradition, the Israeli Communities of Lisbon and Porto have their functioning changed, respecting the days of celebration.  

So over the next month The Comunidade Israelita de Lisboa (CIL) will be closed on the following dates: 6, 7, 8, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28 and 29. already the The Israeli Community of Porto (CIP) will not be working on the 6th, 7th, 15th, 16th and 20th to 28th of September. It is worth remembering that the latter went on collective vacation on the 15th and will only resume activities on the 27th of August.

The exceptional functioning of the Communities throughout September means an unusual flow of submission and analysis of processes. Aware of this, all our sectors have been working to ensure that the impact of this extraordinary operation for our customers is minimal. 

We take the opportunity to reinforce that Martins Castro will operate normally throughout the month of September and that all processes will continue to be forwarded according to the stage they are in and with due speed, considering the circumstances.
