Serving table. FCSC places white tablecloths on serving tables. We do not need linen cloths or any
cloths on the “social tables”, unless hosts desire. In our cabinets we may have some single use round
white and rectangular plastic table covers for the “social tables” if you wish.
Set out the wine/juice cups on trays and fill them to save time later. There are small tent signs for
denoting “wine” and “grape juice”.
Kiddush cup –Always pour a small amount of grape juice (never wine) in Kiddush cup for Rabbi
Katzir or Natalie. Place Kiddush cup and challah at end of serving table for rabbi.
