aliyah(Hebrew; “ascending”) In Judaism, the honour, accorded to a worshiper, of being called up to read an assigned passage from the Torah at Sabbath morning services; or Jewish immigration to Israel. Because the passage assigned for each Sabbath morning service is subdivided into a minimum of seven sections, at least seven different persons are called up for these readings. Aliyah in the sense of immigration to Israel is ongoing but also occurs in waves. The first two waves of immigration occurred in 1882–1914, the next three in 1919–39. The sixth aliyah (1945–48) brought many Holocaust survivors. Later waves of immigration included Falasha from Ethiopia, émigrés from the former Soviet Union, and others. See also Zionism.

Their families made aliyot when they were in their early teens, so their accent was fixed in the States. We have created policies ranging from very strict standards of Shabbat and kashrut observance, to a set of policies on assigning aliyot on Shabbat morning, to a prohibition on fake tattoos (a prohibition which my laypeople insisted on over my objections). |
