Parshas Hashavua וישלח
אחרון אחרון חביב
Is last best or least?
It is customary when calling up the last speaker
at a function
to add at the introduction "אחרון אחרון חביב".
It's done so, as to suggest that this כיבוד is a חשובע כיבוד
It is also
customary to honor special people with ברכה אחריתא.
Is last, more of a כיבוד than the
ones before?
The Gemoro Gittin
60a & Shulchan Aruch O.Ch. 136 lists
whom to call up to the Torah after Kohen & Levi.
You start with the most חשובע
person the Talmid Chacham
& Parnes until you get to the last two עליות
**שישי*
& שביעי where everyone even the simple Yidden
can be עולה.
According to the Gemoro and Shulchan Aruch,**שישי* & שביעי
the last two עליות
are the least חשוב.
*The Zohar argues on the Bavli and considers Shishi as
a Chashuva Aliya.
**The
Mishna Verurah (136 sk5) writes "Today the Minhag Is for the
Godol Hatzibur (The Rov etc.) to be mesayem the sidrah" (takes
שביעי)
