Volunteer to be a Greeter, Gabbai or "Zoom/Tech Gabbai" or Weekday/Friday Service Leader

Shabbat and weekday services occur weekly and we have several volunteer positions that need to be filled each week to ensure they happen. Please help out your CBE community by volunteering .All positions involve minimal or no knowledge of Hebrew and training can be provided. Remember it takes a village to keep things running.

Greeters: As a greeter, your job is simply to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome as they arrive and during the service. As needed, you will work with the security guard to check vaccination status from the list and/or view vaccination cards. If any problems arise or you see something needing attention, please report it to the security guard or to any board member onsite.

Ushers: Ushers will show attendees where to pick up their prayerbook, tallit, and kippah, and where to put them at the end of the service. (While attendance and personal contact are limited due to COVID-19, the usher role will only be needed for special occasions.)

In-Person Tech Gabbai: The Tech Gabbai will be responsible for running the PC located in the Sanctuary which controls the video and audio for Zoom. Experience running a Zoom meeting preferred. Specific instructions for running the PC setup in the Sanctuary will be provided.

Remote Zoom Gabbai: The Zoom Gabbai will help run the Zoom call from home. They should also be familiar with the structure of the service, so they can anticipate when specific people will be speaking and can mute/unmute as needed. 

Procedures and guidelines for all of the above jobs will be provided to those who volunteer, and all volunteer roles are planned with social distancing in mind.

Weekday & Friday Night Service Leaders: We have merged the previously-separate signup for these roles with this one to reduce confusion and make it easier to keep the signups up to date as schedules as arrangements change. Service leaders for Shabbat morning are handled separately by the Ritual Committee.

Services require not only leaders and attendees -- they require volunteers! We can't have services at CBE without your help, so please consider signing up today to volunteer for one or more of these positions.
