Reply To: Saving shul seats, sidurrim for others not yet here

Before we talk siddurim and seats, let’s talk kiddush.
Years ago, we youngsters were taught by our parents not to take seat until all older people were seated. We would also offer our seats to. any older person who arrived from another shul to be at the kiddush, and we always had food anyway.
Nowadays, almost half a kishke,cholent,schmaltz,fish, 3 kugeled kiddush table is surrounded by comfortably seated kids who will never offer their seats, and far worse…. Their fathers who will never ask them to rise for guests…
Fix this chutzpah , and teach manners to parents & children alike, then I’ll worry about siddurim and seat reservations.
