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.
