KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEH'HOO BEN HA'OLAM HABA


Translated from Yalkut Yosef:

1. When calling up an individual to the Torah for an Aliyah, one does not have to call them up by their name and a simple gesture or words of notification should be used to tell them to come up for the Aliyah. This minhag (custom) is preferred rather than following the Ashkenazim who call up a person by name because if an individual cannot get up for the Aliyah then by using a gesture or hinting to them about the Aliyah gives them the opportunity to reject.

2. If the person going up to the Torah said the Berachot HaTorah (blessings before going up for an Aliyah) in a whisper and the congregation did not hear him say the Berachot (blessings), then they say answer “Amen” with the person standing next to the Oleh (the one saying the blessings) because everyone knows the reason why he is blessing.
