cellioFirst I was asked to chant torah on Yom Kippur afternoon, which I accepted. Then last week my rabbi asked me if I could also do so on the second day of Rosh Hashana, which I accepted. Then today the second rabbi (knowing all this) asked if I could also do so on the first day of Rosh Hashana. (One short aliya each, not everything.) I am pleased and flattered by the amount of trust and confidence they show in me. I had told both of them that I've done these latter two portions before and could refresh them quickly if a last-minute fill-in was needed, and they took me up on it.
(I did tell the second rabbi that I felt funny taking three before the other regular readers capable of doing this on short notice had two. He said he had other gaps to fill too.)
Two of these three should be a fairly quick refresher. It's possible, actually, that I can still do one of them cold. (pause to check) Ok, not completely, but not far off.
