Oh, ok. That is slightly better.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

And there's a Silence Center! Which seems to be their version of a chapel, but I don't mind. My mother often goes to airport chapels to grade during layovers.
In principle, all services are in English.
Hee. Oh goodness -- I could even get a hotel room for a couple of hours or -- get this! -- just a shower! Bless you, Dutch airport logic.

That one's easy. If the neighbors have more than one person in their family, they assign someone to wait for the guests in the lobby. If it's just one person, then he or she goes down to the lobby at the time when the guests are supposed to arrive to let them in. It's what pretty much everybody in that situation does. It's not like there has never been a religious family living in a building without a doorman before.
I'm a little confused as to why this isn't happening.

I'll be at the Amsterdam airport for 8 hours on Christmas.
If it makes you feel any better, it sounds very cool and worldly and stuff.

I'm a little confused as to why this isn't happening.
Most likely (if this is the Upper West Side, especially), the neighbors are twenty-somethings just out of college who went from living in a suburban house to living in a dorm to living in an apartment, and they just haven't thought of it. (The Upper West Side is pretty much where youngish Orthodox Jews go to live for a few years after college, find someone to marry, and then move to New Jersey. There have been a few hysterical reports in the past few years in some of the Jewish newspapers about the "situation" there, where people are staying until they're in their thirties and not getting married, and just living the single life until then, and this is clearly going to destroy everything! The usual culprits are either that "these young people don't want to grow up and be responsible adults" or "everyone's too picky.")
