Explanation of the Code Designator

You will see a "Code" for each Honor. This is what the code for the honors means, using this example:
*RHE01 (10 & 11) Bless the Candles (Hebrew and English)
(This code means that it is a reading part, on Rosh HaShanah in the Evening on pages 10 & 11, and the reading is in Hebrew and/or English. See below for the explanation.)

If the code starts with an *asterisk, then the Honor involves reading (and will show if it is Hebrew and/or English)
NOTE: All Honors with Reading Parts will find their selections by clicking the page number below their instructions. 
NOTE: If you have a speaking part, you need to speak so that your voice is picked up by the microphone - not just for the people in the sanctuary, but it is mandatory for the people watching online.

The first two letters represent the Holy Day:
RH = Rosh HaShanah   YK = Yom Kippur

The third letter represents the service
E = Evening    M=Morning    A=Afternoon C=Concluding
(There are other services, but they do not currently  have Honors)

There is sometimes a fourth letter
T = Torah Service    

The numbers at the end of these letters represent the order of the Honor (first, second, third chronologically)
So RHMT03 would mean that the honor is Rosh HaShanah morning, during the Torah service, and it is the third honor in the Torah service for that morning.

The number in parentheses that follows represents the page number in the appropriate Mishkan HaNefesh book. 
YKE01 (9) would mean that the honor is the first on Yom Kippur Evening, and it is found on page 9. Note that the book is often refered to as a "Machzor" (the prayerbook for Shabbat, other Festivals, and weekdays is called a "Siddur"). 

After all of that information, in the name of the honor there is a brief description of the Honor, for example
"Bless the Torah" or "Open and Close the Ark for Aleinu"

Below are details about each honor.

For most honors you return to your seat in the congregation when your honor is completed.
