KMS Aliyah Card Refresh Project 2017 1

KMS Aliya Card Refresh Initiative 2017 Our community has grown over the past few years and the ritual committee plans to generate new Aliya cards in early 2017 for all Full and Associate Male members based on the membership data in Shul Cloud. This is the first time we will be generating Aliya cards from Shul Cloud and we need your help to make sure we have complete membership data

We are asking all members to update their family name information in ShulCloud by January 15 to ensure we can generate complete Aliyah Cards.

Aliya Card Format The format for the Aliyah Cards will look like this:

Data Field Note

Male Member English Name

Tribe Kohen, Levi, Yisroel (Selected in Shul Cloud)

Male Member Full Hebrew Name Hebrew Name Ben Father’s Hebrew name

Wife’s English Name

Wife’s Hebrew Name Simple Hebrew name only.

Husband’s Father and Wife’s Father (FIL) Full Hebrew Name

Full hebrew names are helpful to the Gabbaim to facilitate honors in Shul

Husband’s Mother and Wife’s Mother (MIL) Hebrew Names

First names only

Hebrew names of all children including sons and daughters in law

The following pages will provide specific guidelines for how to update your shul cloud membership data.

Hebrew vs Transliterated It would be most helpful if you can provide the names in Hebrew. The ritual committee can provide assistance as needed. Please email Jeff Adler (adlerjl@verizon.net) if you need help with this. Clicking on the “alef” keyboard icon on the right side of the field will bring up a Hebrew keyboard in a popup for you to type on. It is difficult to add Hebrew letters to existing ones. Best practice is to click “clear” and then write out the complete name from scratch.

Male Member’s Name Please enter full Hebrew names for yourself and father (Name ben Father’s name), first names only for your mother. Please select the appropriate Tribe (Kohen, Levi, Yisroel). Hebrew Last Name is optional.

Female Member’s Name Please enter the first names only for you and your mother. Please enter the full Hebrew name for your father (Father’s name ben His Father’s Name) including TRIBE if he is a Kohen or Levi

Children’s Name Select the appropriate Person Type and gender. Please enter the English and Hebrew names of your children. First and middle Hebrew names for the children are sufficient unless they have a different father’s name (e.g., child of divorced/remarried parents) in which case providing the full Hebrew name will be helpful for the gabbaim. Note: By Default, Shul Cloud will autogenerate the Hebrew names of mother and father from the member data. These will show in lighter font.

Son-in-Law (SIL) Select the correct person type and gender. Please enter the English and full Hebrew names of your SIL. Please add the appropriate TRIBE designation (Kohen or Levi) in Hebrew to the end of the name to assist our gabbaim. You do not have to enter his Mother or Father Hebrew name
