Auf Ruf

The Auf Ruf is a celebration that takes place in the synagogue the Shabbat before the wedding. As part of the regular Shabbat service, the bride and groom are called up to the Torah for an honor called an aliyah. “Auf Ruf” in German means, “to be called up.” After the Torah is read, candy is thrown at the bride and groom.


The Shabbat service will take place on

May 25th at 10 AM at Beth El Congregation

8101 Park Heights Ave.


Andrew's parents, Diane and Phil Potts and Alvin and Risa Schuster are sponsoring a light kiddush lunch immediately following the service.
