Parker Playhouse has brought so very much to enhance our worship experience. There is a professional crew for Sound and Lighting. There is a proper section for those with mobility issues. And "Parking" is much more convenient!
The Ritual Committee will again solicit Temple Members to perform various parts of the services and help those in fulfilling their honors, if needed.
The Sisterhood is again in charge of the floral decorations and the "Break-The-Fast".
The Temple Bat Yam Brotherhood will be responsible to the congregation for providing the logistics support. In addition we will assist in setting up the Bimah, then overseeing the Ushers, Admissions, Parking and Police.
Entry into the facility is from the US-1 intersection of Ninninger Drive. That is one block south of "Searstown". There is a drop off at the front of the theater then the driver will drive the car behind the theatre and into the adjacent carpark. A limited number of handicap spots are available for those "actual drivers" that are physically challenged and in possession of a valid permit. Ushers will assist all those in need of assistance. . As with other venues, Parker Playhouse will be charging a fee to park on their premises.
Prayer books will be distributed in the foyers as you enter the theatre.
We are depending on the Temple Board, the Ritual Committee, Brother and Sisterhood's and you to sign up early to usher.
The Mazon truck will be placed in a prominent spot for ease of loading.
If you are assigned a part in the service you will need to sit close to the Bimah so there is no delay. The Services will then run more smoothly and not drag on.
To those arriving early, "please" sit towards the front of the venue and do not fill up the back. Please leave those seats for those worshipers that arrive after you. This will cut down on the noise and make for a more spiritual atmosphere.
Ushers will be easy to recognize, as they will be wearing clip-on tags, which are very visible. Again they are there to help you.
As you can see there are many things to consider in making meaningful HHD Services for all our members and those worshipers that join us. Please do what you can to help. The burdens are light and the rewards are astounding!
The annual Usher's Brunch will be on Sunday September 21st at 10:30. Please make plans to be there as we have a lot to review and plan this year.
Best Wishes for a Joyful and Healthy New Year! gfredlun@comcast.net
