An aliyot is the plural of aliyah. One person is assigned one aliyah. The family of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah may get to assign several aliyot. It means to come to the Torah and recite the blessings before and after a section of the Torah is read (b’rachot). An honor is a non-speaking part. The chosen person performs the honor, for example may open or close the Ark or dress the Torah.
