Line 96: The [[Conservative Judaism\|Conservative]] [[Rabbinical Assembly]]'s [[Committee on Jewish Law and Standards]] (CJLS), consistent with the Conservative movement's general view of the role of kohanim, has ruled that the practice of calling a kohen to the first aliyah represents a custom rather than a law, and that accordingly, a Conservative rabbi is not obligated to follow it. As such, in some Conservative synagogues, this practice is not followed. Priests (and in their absence, occasionally Levites) are also the first offered the opportunity to lead ~~the~~[[Birkat ~~communal grace after meals~~Hamazon]]. Unlike the general rule for aliyot, this offer - which is only a requirement according to some Rabbinic opinions - may be declined. There are other rules regarding the honoring of kohanim, even in the absence of the Temple, but generally these are waived (if they are even offered) by the kohen.
