If you are leading the Torah service at HPS and need the ‘formula’ for calling people up to the Torah then download this sheet. (The sheet also includes how to call up someone to translate the Torah and for the haftarah reading.)
B'Mitzvah
The Bar Mitzvah Prayer The prayer recited towards the end of the service by a boy who is celebrating becoming Bar Mitzvah. ( The copy on the bimah is blue . )
The Bat Mitzvah Prayer The prayer recited towards the end of the service by a girl who is celebrating becoming Bat Mitzvah. ( The copy on the bimah is pink. )
Parents(s) prayer at BM Parent(s) prayer at a son’s Bar Mitzvah or daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. (The copy on the bimah is blue with a yellow border on one side and pink with a yellow border on the reverse.)
Torah Blessings The blessings before and after reading from the Torah. It may be helpful to print this sheet off for a friend or relative who will have an aliyah. (The copy on the bimah is white.)
Haftarah Blessings (version 1)
Haftarah Blessings (version 2) Version 1 is the usual version, however sometimes our Haftarah is taken from K’tuvim (Writings) rather than Nevi’im (Prophets) in which case version 2 is used. (The copy on the bimah is green and has one version on each side.)
