Aufruf
9:30 am - 12:30 pm
27500 Shaker Boulevard, Cleveland, OH 44124
Optional Event
An aufruf is a traditional Jewish ceremony prior to the wedding where the couple is called to the Torah for a blessing called an aliyah. When the blessing is completed, the entire congregation wishes them luck. Shabbat morning services take several hours and it is not mandatory to be at the synagogue the moment services begin. To make sure you don't miss the blessing (which will take place during the torah service), we recommend arriving around 10am. In the summer, shabbat morning services are often held outside. Business casual dress is requested (daytime dresses, slacks with button up shirts).
