HONORS

In addition to the aliyot granted to the Bar and Bat Mitzvah family, honors are offered to synagogue members on the occasion of a yahrzeit, aufruf, baby naming and for other special occasions as well.  As an egalitarian synagogue, honors are given to both men and women.  Only an individual or a married couple is called to the Torah for an aliyah.  Since an aliyah is an expression of the brit or covenant between God and the Jewish people, these honors are given only to Jews.
