In a
large congregation there once was a president who was
a nice businessman but Jewishly, well, he was ritually-challenged. On
Rosh
HaShanah the gabbai offered him an aliyah; panicked, he said "No no no,
I can't read the Hebrew blessings, I'll embarrass myself."
The gabbai said: "You HAVE to take some honor, you're the president!"
"Isn't there anything
where I don't have to talk?"
The Gabbai thought
for a minute and suggested "how about glila?"
"What's glila?" said the president?
"Simple," replied
the gabbai, "you just come up after the Torah is lifted, and when the
cover
is put on, you put on the breastplate and the crown and then sit down."
Relieved, the president
accepted the honor.
And so, right after
hagba, the president came up, put on the breastplate and the crown, and
went back to his seat.
The gabbai
came running over and said "NOT ON YOU, on the TORAH, on the TORAH!!"
