Should a person make an effort to receive an aliya by Krias HaTorah? (By buying it or asking the gabbai for one.) What is the maaila and how frequently is nice?
your name indicates that you probably get more Aliyos than the average
Unless you have a yahrzeit, I believe ettiquette is to wait until you are offered an aliyah.
Should you make an effort? It’s supposed to be a kibbud. Begging doesn’t seem very honorable! Every shul has protocols, if you have a question feel free to speak with the gabbai.
How often? This depends on size of shul
Why asks for names? The hope is you will give a donation, offering you the extended MiShebeirach is an added value to your aliyah, as all those names receive the blessings recited in the MiShebeirach.
Typical pledge? Depends on person $18 is usual minimum.
Why say matanah? Some people don’t feel like naming a dollar amount on Shabbos. Some are embarrassed to say $18 especially when they used to give $180. Some want to give $1,000 but don’t want everyone lining up on his door that night.
Glilah? Every shul has their own protocol ask your local gabbai.
If your the type who doesnt want to get an aliyah just go to shul without a tallis you wont have to worry about it, but be prepared to do gelilah.
Goq: What is wrong with getting gelilah?
Why do many shuls give glila to a child rather than to an adult?
My guess would be for the same reason that we allow them to lead the davening up to a point: chinuch. It also gives them an opportunity to feel involved with and be a part of the davening.
