Welcome back and Refresh: Reacquainting ourselves with the Sanctuary. With Rabbi Spitzer and Cantor Aronzon

• It has been a while! Let us take a look at the sanctuary and the chapel with new eyes

  • Is there something in the stained glass designs that we never noticed before?

  • Let’s take out a Torah —

    • How do we find our place in the Torah?

    • How do we roll the Torah?

    • How do we take an aliyah (usual and modified?)

    • How do we do a hagbah (usual and modified)?

      • (and who was the genius who thought that lifting our most sacred object over our heads was a good idea?)

    • How to do a gelilah?

  • Hebrew names

  • What are we wondering about in the room?

  • Why do we sit, stand, bow, raise up etc

  • Shul etiquette – when to walk around and when not
