The Rema (O.Ch. 428:6) writes, that for the תוכחה we don't call up by his name but we call up מי שירצה
whoever wants.
The Biur Halacha writes that it doesn't mean that you call up "יעמוד מי שירצה" which has no טעם
(doesn't sound right) it means you call up by his name someone who has agreed beforehand and
is willing to be עולה .
It is interesting that in the
olden days when people still believed in the 11th אני מאמין of שכר ועונש it was
a scary
thing to be עולה the תוכחה.
I haven't noticed today, the בעל קריאה (who usually gets the Aliyah) to
be
scared or nervous during his
Aliyah
Why should the person getting the Aliyah be nervous than anyone else in the shul? Just because he is getting the Aliyah, does not mean the Tochacha applies to him more than anyone else.
ReplyDeleteThe Maharil writes that part of the contract the Kehila made with the
ReplyDeleteShamash was that he had to be oleh the tochocho.
People were scared to get this Aliya
