Honors Request Form

Aliyot

• Please list honorees in order of importance to be honored.
• The actual order of the aliyot will be determined by the rabbi and/or gabbai.
• Families typically assign up to five of the seven aliyot, with the remaining two aliyot reserved for other congregants marking important occasions that week. Individual circumstances often differ, though, and the rabbi will do his best to accommodate your particular preferences.
• As an egalitarian congregation, we ask that, as much as possible, an equal number of women and men be honored with aliyot.
• It is our proudly egalitarian policy to call people up by both their father's and their mother's name. Please include both whenever possible.
• If a Hebrew name is not known, the English name is used.

Please note:

We will try our best to accommodate your requests, though we cannot guarantee that we will be able to grant them.

All recipients of the above honors must be in the synagogue by 9:30 AM. If they are not present when the Torah is taken out, their honors may be given to someone else.
