Rules for Bar/Bat Mitzvah Service
Rules for Bar/Bat Mitzvah Service
First welcome the b’nei Mitzvah family and all of their guests, and then explain that ‘Beth Chaverim’ means ‘house of friends’ and that we seek to provide a friendly environment where everyone who joins us feels comfortable and welcome to worship in their own way. To help us maintain this environment, we have just a few rules we ask you to follow. Next, go through the following rules:
- Turn off or silence cell phones
- No photography or videography
- Don’t clap to show appreciation; instead wave hands or rub hands together (there may be clapping in rhythm along with some songs – just follow along).
- Only enter or leave sanctuary while congregation is seated (look in small window between the entry doors)
- Please sign along (or hum if you want)
- No books on floor
- Explain that Mishkan Tefillah works by page openings – normally we will read 1 prayer per page then move to next page. Rabbi will announce page number when we skip a page or pages.

It's Purim Again
Purim is coming soon and BCRC will be pulling out all stops to celebrate this year. Starting Saturday March 9, Women of BCRC held an adult costume party! Fun was had by all. At March 22 services we have a Tot Shabbat at 6:30 and will be reading the Megillah (in English) at the adult service at 7:30. Costumes are welcome for both. Finally our Purim Spiel: A Barbie Purim will be a gala stand-alone event, Saturday Mar 23 at 7 PM. Guests are welcome! For security purposes guests must pre-register here.
