"My Hebrew is horrible, but my Haftarah trope's pretty good. :-) My father-in-law taught me the haftarah trope for my aufruf; that was my first one ever. I just did the haftarah yesterday (my excuse being my wife's birthday), and I'll use my birthday in a couple of months as my excuse for doing a third."
"At an aufruf I was at a few months ago, the groom's uncle did Adon Olam to the tune of "Rock Around The Clock". It worked amazingly well - it sounded like a one-man band on the bimah!"
