Perpetual Calendar for Responsibility of
Shabbat & Festival Hospitality Desk Staffing

The minyan named below next to each month is responsible for supplying a person (or persons) to staff the West 100th Street lobby hospitality desk from 10:00 – 11:00 AM on Shabbat and festival (not Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur) mornings.

As with current practice, during the months that Minyan Rimonim and the Westside Minyan are jointly responsible, the minyan that is meeting on a particular day is the minyan responsible for staffing the table that day. If Minyan Rimonim normally meets on the 1st and 3rd Shabbat of the month then it is responsible for staffing the table on those days even if it elects to not meet on one of those days (i.e. if the minyan decides not to meet when the weekend coincides with a major secular holiday). Also, when there is a fifth Shabbat or a festival during the month and neither the Westside Minyan or Minyan Rimonim is meeting then it is up to the minyans to work out which minyan is responsible for staffing the desk on those days.

If you have any questions about the schedule below then please contact Michael Brochstein at (212) 678-7881 (before 9:00pm).
