Auf-ruf is a Yiddish term, taken from German, which means "to be called up." Auf Ruf is generally an Ashkenazi or European custom in which a groom - or both the groom and bride in egalitarian congregations - is called up to the Torah (aliyah l'Torah) during a worship service when the Torah scroll is being read as an honor before the wedding. After the Torah reading, a blessing (berakha) known as a MiSheBerakh is recited in which members of the congregation ask for G-d's blessings for the bride and groom on their forthcoming marriage and life together as husband and wife. This auf-ruf generally occurs the Sabbath morning before the wedding or perhaps the week in advance.
