Usually the rabbi gets a special seat. I'd seen the Pnei Yehoshua's contract in Berlin 200+ years ago specify a special seat for his wife as well, but is anyone aware of shuls today that do that?

Most of the Shuls I have been to (Chasidish) designate a special seat for the Rebetzin.

Were these places chasidish? Yeshivish? MO? American? Israeli? Any kind of trend you can describe? – Shalom Oct 3 '10 at 18:59

I've never seen a shul more right than MO that has the assigned seat. I have seen one MO shul that does. – Tzvi Oct 4 '10 at 13:52

In Boston, the seat were the Bostoner Rebbitzin sat before she past away is not used by anyone. I think there is a sign telling people not to sit there.

Was the sign there during her lifetime as well? – WAF Oct 7 '10 at 0:44
I don't know. I wasn't there beforehand. Sorry! – d a Oct 7 '10 at 22:43
