    How do you balance family expectations with religious traditions during a bar mitzvah when the number of aliyahs doesn't seem to accommodate everyone? Join us as we navigate the complexities of distributing honors during family celebrations, sharing personal stories from my son's bar mitzvah. You'll hear about creative solutions like assigning roles such as chazen and strategically dividing aliyahs while keeping halachic guidelines in mind. We also uncover the fascinating Sephardic custom of adding aliyahs for fundraising purposes and discuss the sensitive protocol for calling converts to the Torah. And yes, there's an engaging discussion on whether women can be part of a quorum, adding another layer to this intricate tapestry of tradition.Moving beyond the bar mitzvah, we'll delve into the intriguing dynamics of Kohen, Levi, and Yisrael statuses, exploring the impact on family lineage when life throws unexpected curveballs. Experience the richness of Jewish law where a child's Kohen status remains resilient even amidst family changes, such as the death of a father or a mother's subsequent remarriage. Explore the beautiful diversity of Jewish practices, comparing the Torah display customs between Sephardic and Ashkenazic communities. And as we wrap up, you'll be invited to another thought-provoking learning session with Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, where your questions aren't just welcome—they're your ticket to deeper understanding._____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #24) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!
