When you get to the Haftarah on Yom Kippur morning, try to think of me as I have the aliyah at Beth Israel of the blessings before and after the Haftarah reading. Since the after-blessing is much longer (for Yom Kippur which is also Shabbat), than what I learned for my bat mizvah, I have had to spend a part of every day practicing: learning the new words and the additional tropes. I think I will acquit myself well enough to deserve the honor.
