Question
If a man's wife gave birth, and he is on Shabbat during the seven days of mourning, and the custom in the synagogue is to call up to the Torah on Shabbat someone whose child was born, should he receive an aliyah on Shabbat during the mourning?
Answer
He should not be called up to the Torah, and it is preferable for him to leave the synagogue and listen to the reading from outside.
