The Laws of Krias Sefer Torah

When making the bracha upon being called to the Torah, should the Torah be left open or closed? How should the oleh hold on to the Torah during the bracha and the kriah? What is the correct way to do hagbahah? Who takes precedence for an aliyah, a chassan or a bachur becoming bar mitzvah? If the baal korei made a mistake that does not change the meaning of the pasuk, must he repeat the kriah? How should one review shnayim mikrah weekly? When questions arise, at times the congregation is at a dilemma of what to do, as the laws and customs pertaining to Krias Sefer Torah are not well known by many. This sefer, The Laws of Krias Hatorah, is a thorough review of all these customs and laws. It is written by Rabbi Yaakov Shmuel Marcus, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Or Hatorah in Brooklyn, NY, a renowned author and educator. This sefer will solve all these dilemmas and many others. The sefer is written following the order of the Shulchan Aruch, in an easy-to-read format with extensive sources and footnotes. Included throughout the sefer are piskei halacha, published for the first time, from Rav Shmuel Kaminetzky shlit”a, Rav Yaakov Forchheimer shlit”a and Rav Shmuel Felder shlit”a.
