Aliyah on day of Bris [i.e. Shabbos, Monday or Thursday etc]:
Father of child:[1] The father of a newborn male child is considered a Chiyuv on the day of the Mila if it falls on a day of Kerias Hatorah [i.e. Shabbos, or Monday or Thursday].
Mohel and Sandek: Some are accustomed to treat a Mohel and Sandek as a Chiyuv on the day of the Bris.[2] Nevertheless, the custom today is not be particular in this matter, and not to treat the Sandek and Mohel as a Chiyuv for an Aliya, and rather they are given a different honor, such as Hagbah.[3]
Sandek versus Mohel:[4] The Sandek is an even greater position than the Mohel, and hence receives precedence in getting an Aliyah to the Torah over the Mohel.
Q&A on Aliyah during Shabbos May an Avel during Shiva receive an Aliyah if he has a Chiyuv, such as a Baal Bris? Some Poskim[5] rule he may not receive an Aliyah even on Shabbos. Other Poskim[6] rule he may receive an Aliyah on Shabbos.[7] |
