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.

Security Training Continues
Many of you attended our recent Active Threat Training where we learned about Avoid, Deny, Defend, and how to react if there were to be an active shooter situation. We have scheduled two follow-on training dates: Thursday, Nov 21st at 7pm, and Sunday Dec 8 at 1 PM. This training will briefly review Avoid, Deny, Defend, and then we will spend the bulk of the session developing and evaluating personal scripts with which you can be prepared for various emergency scenarios and locations.
