Dear Friend,

Once again we are conducting a silent auction via email for alliyos on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.  The alliyos available are listed below.  Bidding starts at $36 per alliyah.  We may move your bid to a different alliyah (with your permission) in order to balance them out.  

Please note that the first day of Rosh Hashanah is Shabbos, meaning that there will be two extra alliyos this year.

We will once again make available P'sicha for Ne'ela on Yom Kippur.  This kavod will continue to be given to the Rav as it has been since I have been a member; however, we are now offering the opportunity to sponsor the Rav for this kavod.

As the Rabbi has reminded us in prior years:

The Mishna Berura (Ch.584:S.K.8) quotes the great compendium on all Yomim Noraim matters, the Mateh Ephraim, as follows: 

"It is appropriate for every G-d fearing man to make an effort to get an Aliyah on the Yomim Noraim (Rosh Hashana or Yom Kippur). Even in places where the Aliyos are usually auctioned off [to the wealthy], one should "purchase" an Aliya for that time of year for as much as his means allow. 

"[And lest one think that there is something degrading about purchasing an Aliyah at such a holy time of year, the truth is] just the opposite: There is greater spiritual advantage in a Mitzvah that comes one's way through monetary expenditure than in a Mitzvah that has come one's way free of charge."

If you are interested in taking the initiative in acquiring this merit for yourself or someone else and investing in our Kehilla at the same time, please call the office (216-382-1958), or contact Martin Lipman at martin.lipman@sbcglobal.net.

The alliyos are:

Rosh Hashanah, First Day

Cohen

Levi

Shlishi

Rivi'i

Chamishi

Shishi

Shivi'i

Maftir

 

Rosh Hashanah, Second Day

Cohen

Levi

Shlishi  (note – reserved for a chiyav)

Yom Kippur, morning

Sponsor the Rav for P'sicha Ne'ela

Kol Tuv,
