Aliyot

• Generally 7 aliyot on a Shabbat
• Must be Jewish by traditional definition
• Couples (not simply two people) are acceptable or they may have separate aliyot
• Bar/bat mitzvah required, generally the last one (or second to last if s/he is not doing the haftorah)
• Give your gabai a detailed list that includes the order and the Hebrew names (names of both mother and father -- as is MM's policy)
• Some people have furnished tapes to people who are unfamiliar with the brachot. It is helpful to practice with people who are unaccustomed to having an aliyah.

• If two Torahs are used during the leyning, these positions are assigned twice.
• Be sure that people know how to and are able to discharge these tasks properly -- even galila requires attentiveness to the Torah.

• Let your gabai know, if you are leaving it to his/her discretion that day.

• MM present (must be a MM member)
• AC present (AC may determine presenter)
• Tell your Simcha Committee point person

• At a few strategic moments (but not so often as to be intrusive), page announcements may be helpful to people who may not be familiar with our siddur or davening.
