Ushering Guidelines
Thank you for volunteering to usher for this service. We greatly appreciate the role you play in welcoming people to our synagogue and sanctuary. Some of you have been doing this for years; others are here just for this one occasion. In either case, we would like to clarify for you some of our procedures.

Greeting
You are the face of CBI, so please be welcoming. Smiles are great, especially accompanied by "Good Evening/Morning/Afternoon," "Shabbat Shalom or "Good Shabbos."

Please be sure to dress appropriately, suit and tie are required for Erev Shabbat services in the Sanctuary unless otherwise notified.

For Distribution
Friday night: Our one-page service announcement sheet and, on the last Friday night of the month and other special occasions, a service booklet. *No other flyers should be distributed or put on the table outside the sanctuary. CBI announcements may go on the Shalom table in the Social Hall; Lesley Mills must clear non-CBI flyers during business hours.

Saturday Morning or Afternoon: Please distribute our CBI-printed Torah Service pamphlets.

Kippot and Tallitot
There is a wooden rack/bin for kippot (yarmulkes) and tallitot to the left of the entrances to the sanctuary. Kippot are not required (but encouraged) at all services; tallitot are appropriate and encouraged for all on Shabbat Day; only service leaders and those blessing the Torah are expected to wear them in the evening.

Special Needs
Hearing assistance devices and large print copies of the gray Gates of Prayer are available and stored in the cabinet.

Restrooms

Restrooms are at the other end of the vestibule, on the hallway opposite the gift shop.

Schedule
In order to start our services on time, we ask your help in maintaining the following schedule:
    30 minutes before service start: Ushers should be in place ready to greet and distribute materials.
    10 minutes before: Please encourage people to make their way into the sanctuary.
    5 minutes before: Please again encourage people to make their way into the sanctuary.
    2 minutes before: Please clear the center aisle so the Rabbis, Cantor, and Bimah guests can process to the front.
After the service has begun, please close the doors in the back of the Sanctuary. At least one usher should remain in the foyer for another 10 to 15 minutes to greet latecomers.

Problems
If there are not enough seats, spills, lighting or facilities issues, please contact a custodian or security guard. Each has a communication device to contact others.

Again, we truly appreciate your part in welcoming our members and guests.

Thank you.
