1. Moms and Dads—sit with your children; don’t stand in the aisles and shmooze. We are the best teachers for showing our kids how to behave in synagogue.

2. MJC is the most kid-friendly synagogue in Nassau and Suffolk. But if your child is upset and crying, please bring him/her outside of the sanctuary until settled and then return. We want you together with the congregation.

3. Please do not place mahzorim on the floor or leave sacred books open unattended. Should your mahzor drop, please pick it up and give it a kiss, as it contains the name of God, and we treat God’s name with respect. .

4. Treat each other kindly and politely. If someone is engaged in a behavior that you would like stopped, communicate your wish with kindness and the other person will better hear your concerns.

5. On Shabbat and holidays, we do not use our cell phones, text, e-mail, photograph, write, draw, paint, etc.

6. We can begin to love our neighbors by not parking our cars in their driveway, on their sidewalk, or on their grass. Please do not litter in the building or on our neighbors’ lawns.
