Alliyot is the plural of alliyah. One person is assigned one alliyah. The family of the Bar\/Bat Mitzvah (or the groom, at an Ufruf) may get to assign several alliyot. It means to come to the Torah and recite the blessings before and after a section of the Torah is read (b\u00b4rachot). An honor is a non-speaking part. The chosen person performs the honor, for example, they may open or close the Ark or dress the Torah.;<\/p>\n
\u2022 Ask the Rabbi or Cantor how many alliyot you will be allowed. Consult with your rabbi or cantor regarding participation of non-Jewish friends and relatives;
\u2022 Ask about any restrictions or limitations before you approach anyone to perform an honor or alliyah;
\u2022 Attend other Bar\u2044Bat Mitzvah services at your synagogue to see how others do it;
\u2022 Always ask relatives and friends if they would like to participate, but let them know it\u00b4s okay to say no. Those who say yes will be truly honored, and the others will avoid what they may feel is uncomfortable;
\u2022 Check with the Rabbi for written instructions, Hebrew and English transliteration, and even English prayers;<\/p>\n
