These two honors were collectively known as \"rolling up,\" because the act of rolling up the Torah is the main honor. The Sages explain that although it is the last honor, the person who receives it also receives the rewards of all the previous aliyot. Nowadays, it is customary in some communities for the \"rolling up\" to be done by two people: one person raises the Torah, and a second person rolls it up. The Chabad custom, however, is that the person who raises the Torah is also given the main honor of rolling it up, as this more closely resembles the \"rolling up\" of the Talmudic era. A second person is then given the honor of dressing the Torah.",
