The Hebrew name form is: (the individual's name) son/daughter of (the individual's mother) and (the individual's father). If there is only a "Jewish" or Yiddish name for the person, this will work as well. An aliyah is for people over 13 only.  Non-Jewish partners are welcome to join their Jewish partners for an aliyah.
