     3  Cong.  K'hal  Yereim  of  Woodridge,  a  not-for-profit organization, an
     4  application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant  to  section

     8  otherwise  known  as Rockland county tax map section 49.18, block 1, lot

    10  received  on  or  before  the  taxable status dates established for such
    11  rolls.
    12    If satisfied that such non-profit would otherwise be entitled to  such
    13  exemption  if  such non-profit had filed an application for exemption by

    15  town board of Ramapo, may grant exemption from  all  taxation  and  make
    16  appropriate  corrections  to  the  subject  rolls.  If such exemption is
