    Hey, I was recently wondering when shuls started the ritual of having the gabbai (or gabbai sheini or shlishi) get up after davening and announce times, simchas, repeating shemonah esrei, jokes?, etc…..

    Additionally, what do they do in your shul (at what point, before aleinu), and what’s the funniest thing you’ve ever heard announced after davening?

    Additionally, what do they do in your shul (at what point, before aleinu),

    In our shul, it’s done after the last kaddish is completed.

    On a side note, I find it very disturbing when people talk during the announcements. There are two problems with this:

    1. It prevents people who want to hear the announcements from doing so.

    2. It’s disrespectful to the person speaking. It just a simple lack of derech eretz.

    Fortunately, they don’t do this in my regular shul, but I’ve seen it in other shuls and it disturbs me.
