In Devarim 31:9 we see that Moshe wrote the Torah and gave it to the Kohanim the sons of Levi. The Gemara in Gittin 71b says that the following things are done to keep the peace. A Kohen gets the first aliya and we learn it from the above passuk. Since the Torah specified the Kohanim the sons of Levi. We know that the Kohanim were descendants of Levi. It comes to teach us that the Kohanim get the first Aliyah and then comes the Levi.

As we get closer to Rosh Hashana most of us need to write a pruzbul. This is in order that our debts should not be cancelled! According to Shulchan Aruch one must make the pruzbul in Bais Din. The Rema is maikil and says one can write a pruzbul in front of any three people. The question arises if one lives out of town and there are no three Jews there. Can he do the pruzbul via fax or email? Can he verbally do it on the phone?
