An Oleh Who Wants to Lain His Aliya
Rabbi Daniel Mann | Tammuz 5783

Grand Opening!
Why is Kaddish in Aramaic? Isn’t it prohibited to pray in Aramaic and Arabic? In which arm does a lefty hold the sefer Torah? Do I join everyone in reciting Berich She’mei when I am in the middle of pesukei dezimra?
Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff | Sivan 21 5782

Taking out the Sefer Torah
Which Keil erech apayim should I say? My wife is due to give birth shortly, and I am saying kaddish for my father. On the days that the Torah is read, should I l daven before the amud”, open the aron hakodesh, or do both? When do I recite Berich She’mei?

I will be traveling from Eretz Yisroel to the United States after Pesach. Do I need to review the parshah twice? May I accept an aliyah for a parshah that is not the one I will be reading on Shabbos?
