Aliyah Auction- Deadline next Wednesday!
Dear Community Members,
As we prepare ourselves for the High Holidays, we would like to bring to your attention the following opinion which is common practice in the Torah world.
The Chofetz Chaim zt”l writes in Mishne Brura 584:8: “It is most appropriate for every ….individual to make an effort to get an Aliyah on the High Holidays. Even ….when these mitzvos are sold, one should buy them in accordance with his means. A mitzvah that is attained through expenditure is of greater value than a mitzvah attained for free.”
Therefore, we would like to extend to you the opportunity to participate in our High Holiday mitzvos and receive HaShem’s munificent blessing in repayment of your efforts.
We are holding a ‘silent auction’ for all Aliyos on 1st & 2nd day Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur (see list below). Please submit your ‘bid’ ($180 minimum for all Aliyahs, $100 minimum for Hagbah, $36 minimum for Gelilah). Bids will be accepted as they are received by email (menucha@aishla.com) or voicemail (310-278-8672x305). The deadline for the auction for Rosh Hashana Aliyos will be 10:00 am Sept. 4. The deadline for the auction for Yom Kippur Aliyos will be 10:00 am Sept 13.
Thank you in advance for your continued support.
May you be inscribed in the Book of Life for a sweet year!
