# 1483 Flip The Cohen?
Q. (This Shailah was supposedly already asked to the Rosh Kollel, but I would love to actually read his answer). In our small Minyan, there was only 1 Kohen on Shabbos morning & he had Yahrtzeit the upcoming week. Thus, he wanted Maftir. Can he get 2 Aliyos? Should he walk out for the Aliyah of Kohen, so we can give him Maftir? Or, perhaps, he should get the regular Aliyah of Kohen & forgo Maftir? If he forgoes Maftir, is there then an Inyan, to give this Aliyah, to his brother-in-law, who was a son-in-law of the Niftar whose Yahrtzeit was upcoming?


A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is better to call the Cohen for the first aliya on Shabbos, since you comply with the Biblical mitzva of “Vekidashto”, to sanctify the Cohen.
Maftir should then be given, as suggested to the son-in-law of the niftar.

Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a.
