Greeting Our Community Everyday

This originally appeared in November 2019

That feeling when we walk up the steps of the Scottish Right Center or to Kehilla at the High Holidays – being greeted on the steps, inside the doors, at the entrance of the sanctuary…. Being handed a siddur by someone who smiles at you and says l’shana tova….  That sense of being welcomed into your community.

And that feeling when you are the greeter smiling and welcoming your fellow congregants, having a brief exchange and a moment of connection with someone you have never met before.

And that feeling as a new congregant or a visitor to Kehilla is warmly greeted and gently guided into our home…

We all know that feeling, and we know when it is missing.  We are proud of being a welcoming synagogue, so let’s demonstrate that at every event.  

We are creating a system by which greeters will be present at each and every service and Kehilla event.  If everyone does this once or twice a year we are set.  Imagine how many people you will get to meet!  Imagine feeling that much more part of your community.
