ArchivesRe: Jewish given names meaning rabbi or priest
in reply to a message by Joiya
I'm Jewish. Interesting post.
Technically, "aliyah" is not the person who is called up to read from the Torah. It is the act of being called up to read from the Torah, called "making aliyah" or "being called up for an aliyah" etc.
In recent years, making aliyah has also taken on a political meaning, that of Jews returning to the land of Israel.
