The idea is to turn the room into as much our own sanctuary as possible. Distribute siddurim, one per chair. Arrange for people to help with the Torah service. Someone will be needed to help undress the Torah after it has been passed around and replaced on the table. Someone will also be needed to hold the Torah open during each aliyah.
Someone is needed to help dress the Torah after the last aliyah.
The table needs to be moved out of the circle, after singing Eitz Hayim Hee. Rabbi Brian will arrive about 20 minutes before the service starts and if there are readings to pass out or other matters to attend to he will let you know, and also help you. Clean-up means leaving the place exactly as you found it, so it is important that you stay until the end to make sure this happens. This involves closing and locking windows, sweeping the floors, starting the dishwasher, or washing dishes, and taking out garbage. You must take regular trash with you and recyclables too if the bag is more than half full.
