Original Congregational Melody for Calling Up Bar/Bat Mitzvah

At our bnei mitzvah, Cantor Gaby will lead us in an original melody so the entire community can join in calling up the child for their first ever aliyah.

If calling up a boy:

Words:
Ya’amod, Ya’amod, Ya’amod
[then Cantor Gaby recites the name]
Ai, yai, yai, yai, Maftir
Ai, yai, yai, yai, Chazak
Maftir Chazak

If calling up a girl:

Words:
Ta’amod, Ta’amod, Ta’amod
[then Cantor Gaby recites the name]
Ai, yai, yai, yai, Maftirah
Ai, yai, yai, yai, Chizkee
Maftirah Chizkee
