In the Shul I daven in the Gabbai's father Davens there often and the Rav told him to call him up Yaamod Avi Mori.
I found that Sefer Dinei Kriyas HaTorah - Rabbi Naftali Hoffner says that you should call the father up as Yaamod Avi U'Mori........

The Shu"t Beit Avi (5:56) was asked this question and concludes that one should call him up as "Abba Isaac ben Moses" (for example).
He says that by using the honorific "Abba" one alleviates the issue of calling one's parent by their first name (outlined in Shulchan Aruch YD 240:2). He notes that even though the Shulchan Aruch sounds like it is forbidden to ...

In the back of the Chumash Shai LeMorah, a list and hierarchy of the the people who are obligated to receive an Aliyah to the Torah. He adds parenthetically as follows:
It is written in the Sefer Avodat Hakodesh of the Chida Z"l that there is a custom in Eretz Yisroel that someone whose wife enters her 9th month of pregnancy should be careful to do the ...

It depends on the synagogue, and depends what you're being asked to do. I'll assume the synagogue is Ashkenazic.
If you're being asked to open the aron (cabinet holding the Torah scrolls) for a particular prayer, but the scrolls are not to be removed, then the first step is to approach the aron at the appropriate time. (Actually, as mentioned in the other ...

This halacha is brought in Shulchan Aruch 53:16
Here are some clarifications:
1) A regular/permanent Shliach Tzibur does not need to refuse.
(On the contrary, if a regular Shliach Tzibur refuses he shows that it is beneath his dignity
to daven until the congregation pleads with him [see Beit Yosef and Shulchan Aruch Harav 53:19])
2) If requested by an ...

I was talking to a friend of mine today about this question and he told me that recently he was in a Shul and no one wanted to Daven Musaf for the Amud. The Gabai has already Davened Shacharis and read the Kriyas HaTorah. So the Gabai made a loud announcement "Good Shabbos - Thanks for all of you joining with our Minyan. I am leaving now and will come back ...

The Birchas Ephraim 60 (This is a pamphlet that is printed as an
addendum to Pischei Sh'earim, Talmudic novellae by Rabbi Yisachar of
Tchenstechow - Bilgurei 5660). says as follows: "My children, do not
forget to introduce the tradition from our master, ...

According to Siddur Rabbeinu Hazakein, the Lubavitcher Rebbe would wait until after Kaddish was over, right before Shemoneh Esrei. However during the years תש״נ ־ תנש״א / 1990 - 1991 Kaddish would not start until after the Sefer Torah was already put back in the Aron, so yehalelu was said before kaddish.
As regards actual practice, every Lubavitcher minyan ...

Just be careful not to mess up the grammatical references. Sometimes the gabbai will say
העולה ואת אשתו פב"פ ואת אביו פב"פ ואת אמו פב"פ ואת בנו פב"פ ואת בנו פב"פ
At a certain point it becomes very unclear who the 'his' is referring to. Is it the father's son? The son's son's son?
The gabbai should either switch to saying ואת בן העולה פב"פ or group the ...

By a lady - who has 252 limbs (Bechoros 45.) א"ר יהודה אמר שמואל מעשה בתלמידיו של ר' ישמעאל ששלקו זונה אחת שנתחייבה שריפה למלך בדקו ומצאו בה מאתים וחמשים ושנים אמר להם שמא באשה בדקתם שהוסיף לה הכתוב שני צירים ושני דלתות - we say L'Chol Aivoreho, U'Lchol Gideha - so I would think (no source yet) that if a man is either missing a limb or has extra that we ...
