B'rinah Leader Guide

Gabbi/Greeter
  • Arrive 10 minutes before service begins.
  • Offer siddurim (prayer books) and chumashim (Torah commentaries) as people arrive. 
  • Make sure Kippot and Tallitot are accessible.
  • Distribute Honor Cards
    • Aliyot (blessing before/after Torah reading)
      • Generally we have 3 aliyot per service
      • Multiple people can share an aliya
      • When giving the honor, ask for Hebrew name, including parents' Hebrew name. You can either write it down then, or ask them again when you call them up. 
      • If they don't know parents' Hebrew names, you can substitute "Avraham v'Sarah," the universal parents of the Jewish people.
      • If they don't know/have a Hebrew name, you can use their English name.
      • If they don't know how to have an Aliya, you can offer to call them up and recite the blessings with them or for them.
    • Hagbah (Lifting the Torah). Make sure this person is comfortable lifting the Torah before giving honor.
    • Gelilah (Dressing the Torah). 
  • During Torah service, distribute mini-Torahs to kids
  • Hold main Torah for Hakafah
  • Stand at lectern and call up aliyot (English names and Hebrew names; recording below), help them with blessings/choreography
  • Call up honors for Hagbah/Gelilah & help them out. After the Torah is dressed, return it to the lectern.
  • At the end of the Torah service, return the Torah to the ark for the leader.
  • Read Kaddish list and announcements.
