Bar/Bat Mitzvah Procedures (Section 2)
1. The Bar/Bat Mitzvah and family are to be at the Synagogue no later than fifteen minutes prior to the scheduled beginning of services. Generally, services begin at 8:00 PM on Friday night evenings, except the first Friday evening of the month when our family service is held at 7:00 PM. Shabbat morning services begin at 9:00 AM.
2. Parents, siblings, and grandparents will usually be seated in the first row(s) of the Sanctuary.
3. Please be certain that the Aliyah list is given to the Rabbi or the Gabbai two week prior to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah as no writing is permitted on Shabbat.
4. When preparing your list of Aliyot and honors, please keep in mind that only members of the Jewish faith may participate in the Torah service. It is very helpful to send a copy of "Guide for Bimah Etiquette" to those who will be participating so that they will be adequately prepared. Those with close family members who are not Jewish may discuss with the Rabbi how they might participate in some aspect of the service.
5. Except for the parents and grandparents of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah, only one individual will be called to the Torah for each Aliyah.
6. All males (non-Jewish guests included) must wear a kippah (yarlmuka) while in the Synagogue. All Jewish males over the age of 13 should also wear Tallit (prayer Shawl) in the Sanctuary during Shabbat morning services. Everyone who is called to the Bimah must wear a head covering.
7. Please discourage guests from bringing gifts to the Synagogue as nothing may be taken out of the Synagogue until after Shabbat has ended.
8. Reminder: No photography, videography, tape recording, is permitted on Shabbat (Friday night as well as Saturday morning) nor is smoking permitted anywhere in the building or on the grounds. Synagogue telephones can only be used on Shabbat in the case of an emergency. Cell phones are not permitted to be used anywhere in the building or on the grounds during Shabbat.
9. At the conclusion of Saturday morning services, parent(s), sibling(s), grandparent(s), will follow the procession of those leaving the Bimah and proceed directly to the entrance of the Sanctuary for the blessing over the wine and challah. Please do not stop to greet relatives and friends at this time. There will be ample opportunity to do so at the Kiddush, after the blessings have been recited.
10. The Synagogue will provide ushers during services.
