How We Set Up Aliyah Scheduling
A system that honors customs and reduces manual work.
We help you set up Aliyot in a way that fits your shul’s traditions. Some shuls follow a rotating list. Others assign honours based on lifecycle events or family customs. We work with your unique practice and never use a one-size-fits-all system.
We build digital lists for regular readers and recurring honours. These can rotate automatically or be assigned manually. Family patterns also matter. If certain aliyot go to specific members each year, we set that up to repeat. If someone is called for a yahrzeit, the system remembers and flags it annually.
Who Can Manage the Schedule
Staff, clergy, or lay leaders can access the schedule based on their role and responsibilities. We set permissions so only the right people can make changes. This keeps it organized and prevents conflicts. No more paper lists, sticky notes, or spreadsheets that disappear after the service.

Ongoing Support and Updates
Keep your schedule accurate, year after year.
Aliyah schedules change all the time with new names, family patterns, or special requests. We help you update them so nothing’s missed! We also set up templates for Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Aufruf (before a wedding), baby naming, anniversary, or yahrzeit, and fast days so your team isn’t starting from scratch each time.
Connected Records and Support
If you use ShulCloud, we link aliyah records to member profiles so everything is in one place. This helps during High Holidays and service planning. We can train your staff or gabbai to manage the schedule, or provide support when needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Shul Works torah and aliyah info
Can we set up a rotating schedule for regular readers?
Yes. We create a rotating list so all the players are assigned fairly and consistently. You can set how often someone is called, skip dates, or pause a name if needed. The system remembers the last person called and suggests the next one, so your gabbai doesn’t have to keep track manually.
How do we handle aliyot for yahrzeits or b’nai mitzvah?
We set up special assignments that repeat annually. For yahrzeits, we link the aliyah to the memorial date so it appears on the correct Shabbat. For b’nai mitzvah, we assign the honour and mark it in the member’s record. This ensures consistency and reduces the chance of missing a meaningful moment.
Can multiple people see or edit the schedule?
Yes! We set up access so staff, clergy, or lay leaders can view or update the schedule as needed. Permissions are controlled so only authorized people can make changes. This keeps the process organized and prevents duplicate entries or conflicts.
Does this work for holidays and special services?
Yes. We set up different schedules for Shabbat, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Aufruf (before a wedding), baby naming, anniversary, or yahrzeit, Rosh Chodesh, and fast days, each with the correct number and order of aliyot. You can copy templates from year to year or adjust as needed. This saves time and ensures halachic accuracy.
Can we print or share the schedule with the congregation?
Yes. We can generate a printable version for the gabbai or share a read-only version with the community via email or your website. Some shuls post the upcoming week’s aliyot in the newsletter. We help you format it clearly and distribute it however you usually do.
