Leading the Services
Question
Hello, I'm an American expatriate living in Zambia, Southern Africa. We have a small Jewish community here (about 100 people) and I'm tasked with leading the services. I have some questions on the structure of the service I thought someone could answer. It would be wonderful if there was someone who would be willing to support me as a prepare of this week. If not, if someone could answer some of these questions: 1. I'm a bit blurry on the torah service. After reading the torah, the torah is lifted and then dressed and then the Haftorah is read before the torah is put away. After the Haftorah there is sermon or dvar torah and then the torah is put in the ark? 2. I'm not sure where the parsha breaks for the seven aliyot. How does one know which pasukim break the aliyot? Thanks, And sorry for the rush request. I can't believe Rosh Hashana is around the corner! lisa Beyer
