What is the customary order of Aliyahs at a Bar Mitzvah?
In all the Bar and Bat Mitzvahs I have every attended, there has only been one aliyah which is carried out by the boy or girl whose Bar/Bat Mitzvah it is. Aliyah means "to rise," and is a name used when somebody is called up to read from the Torah. However, the Bar/Bat Mitzvah is commonly followed by a celebratory meal during which speeches may be given - in Hebrew, Yiddish and/or English depending on the family - both by and in honour of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah boy/girl. These might be mistaken for further aliyot which is, I suspect, why you ask what the order of aliyot is. In saying that, customs and traditions vary widely between different Jewish communties and families. Does anybody know if a Bar/Bat Mitzvah can have several aliyot?
