Torah Call Up

Question

I’m going thru an orthodox conversion my father is Jewish I wanted to know, when I get called to the Torah will it be Ben Avraham or my fathers name Ben Nimord

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

A convert is to be called up to the Torah as "Ben Avraham" even if his father is Jewish.
