Question:
Shalom Rabbi,
What is the solution when a jew has a father who is also jewish but never had a bris and was never given a jewish name. Does he get called up to the Torah by his father's non-Jewish name? Or should something else be done?
What if he's already been going by his father's non-Jewish name?
Thank you!
Gmar Chasima Tova!
Answer:
The person should be called up by his name and the name that his father is known, even if it isn't a Jewish name or the name he was given at his bris. Nevertheless it is his name now since he is called by it.
Best Wishes
