Each family has the opportunity to honor loved ones with an Aliyah. Having the aliyah means coming up to the bima to recite the blessings before and after each section of Torah is read. Each aliyah includes two Torah blessings –  an opening/before blessing, and a closing/after blessing. Please fill out this Aliyot form and return it to us at least two weeks prior to your child’s bar/bat mitzvah.

Below are links for audio and text files of the Torah blessings.
