Question
Is it permissible to add aliyot on Yom Tov?
Answer
Ideally, one should refrain from adding more than five aliyot on Yom Tov, except on Simchat Torah, where it is important for everyone to be called to the Torah. However, according to the basic law, it is permissible, and in cases of dispute, one may be lenient. Additionally, when Yom Tov falls on Shabbat, it is treated like Shabbat, and more than seven aliyot may be added if needed.
