Create Shifts to Attend Torah Readings

It may prove difficult to bring the entire family to the synagogue at once in order to hear the Ten Commandments; there is often a need for at least one member to remain at home. In such a case, some of the family should attend a different synagogue with an earlier or later schedule for reading the Torah—or even the same synagogue, if it offers an additional reading at a later hour. In many communities, it is indeed customary to host more than one prayer service on Shavuos.
