Aliyot to the Torah
After the Torah has been placed on the bimah, the gabbai calls a Kohen to the Torah by saying the following. If there is no Kohen, the gabbai calls a Levite or Israelite to the Torah instead.
Hebrew
וְתִגְלֶה וְתֵרָאֶה מַלְכוּתוֹ עָלֵינוּ
בְּזְמַן קָרוֹב, וְיָחֹן פְּלֵטָתֵנוּ
וּפְלֵטַת עַמּוֹ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל לְחֵן
וּלְחֶסֶד וּלְרַחֲמִים וּלְרָצוֹן וְנֹאמַר

The congregation and gabbai say:

Chabad

The oleh (person who is called up to the Torah) should approach the Torah directly and without delay, in order to show his love and enthusiasm for the Torah.
Blessings Over The Torah
The reader shows the oleh the words that are to be read in the Torah. The oleh touches the words with the corner of his tallit or with the Torah's belt, and kisses it. He then closes the Torah and says the following blessing while holding the handles of the Torah and turning his head to the right, so as not to appear to be reading from the Torah. For transliteration, see page 945.
Hebrew
בָּרְכוּ אֶת יְהֹוָה הַמְבֹרָךְ:
Chabad

The congregation and the oleh say together:
Hebrew

When the reading is completed, the oleh touches the last and first words that were read with the corner of his tallit or with the Torah's belt, and kisses it. He then closes the Torah and says the following blessing while holding the handles of the Torah and turning his head to the right, so as not to appear to be reading from the Torah.

The oleh remains standing near the Torah until the end of the next aliyah (or, if his was the last aliyah, until after the raising of the Torah). When the oleh returns to his place, he should not use the shortest route, showing his love for the Torah and his reluctance to leave it.
After the final aliyah, the Torah is covered and Half Kaddish,, is said by a mourner or someone who is commemorating a yahrtzeit. If none are present, the reader of the Torah says it. For transliteration, see page 953.
