All Members help create the Mishkan (sacred vessel) for Shabbat services

We do not have a permanent space of our own, so each Shabbat we must set up and take down all of the elements of our Mishkan: The bima; the siddurim on the chairs; the kippot, tallit, and name tags; the written information about Eitz Or and the Jewish community in Seattle and beyond; and the food service for our oneg.

Because this activity is necessary for us to honor Shabbat, it is a volunteer activity in which all members of Eitz Or participate.
