I used to get confused when I read about ‘being called up for aliyah’ as I only thought of it as referring to a Jewish person moving to Israel. So I initially understood it as ‘being called to return to Israel’, haha! Fortunately now I know the word actually has two meanings:

Aliyah: “The Hebrew word aliyah translates as “elevation” or “going up.” It is, in fact, used both for being called up to the Torah reading and for moving to the Land of Israel.: ”
