As a rule, however, this is forbidden.

Please be mispallel for Kidney Donor: Simcha Binem ben Devora Recipient: Yonatan ben Shoshana Today's Grateful Transplant Recipient Yonatan of Queens, NY is a young father who derives great joy in being able to take care of, and being there for his four children ages 8, 9, 10 & 12. The grueling and draining schedule of dialysis get's in the way of being fully there for his family. Yonatan hoped and prayed for the day when someone out there would save his life. Along came Simcha of Brooklyn NY who immigrated to America from Israel. Simcha was determined to donate his kidney in order to save a life. Simcha matched Yonatan, and as they say, the rest is history.

Please take the time to be mispallel and say Tehillim for the success of the kidney transplant. Thank you! Renewal #kidneykindness

Summary: When one receives an Aliya, he should be first shown the place where the Aliya will be starting, and only then recite the Beracha. If he is shown the wrong place and then recites the Beracha, he does not have to repeat the Beracha. One may not lean on the Teba during the reading, unless he is ill or frail, in which case he may lean slightly, without resting all his weight on the Teba. During the reading, the one who receives the Aliya must quietly read the text along with the reader.
