סדר קריאת התורה

Section 1: 0:00
Reader

Israeli: ' marks a reduced vowel that Israeli speech drops (b'rachah); when the vowel is pronounced it is written e (lefanecha). - separates syllables that would otherwise run together.

How to read the transliterations
Before the maftir aliyah is summoned to the Torah, Hatzi Kaddish is recited.
חֲצִי קַדִּישׁ

Ḥatzi Kaddish

Leader:
Hebrew
יִתְגַּדַּל וְיִתְקַדַּשׁ שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא, בְּעָלְמָא דִּי בְרָא, כִּרְעוּתֵהּ,
וְיַמְלִיךְ מַלְכוּתֵהּ בְּחַיֵּיכוֹן וּבְיוֹמֵיכוֹן וּבְחַיֵּי דְכָל־בֵּית
יִשְׂרָאֵל, בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן.

English
Throughout the created world, may God’s great name be exalted and hallowed, as is God’s wish. Soon may God’s sovereignty be established, in your lifetime and during your days, and in the days of the whole house of Israel. And we say: Amen.
Assembly and Leader:
Hebrew
יְהֵא שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא מְבָרַךְ לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי עָלְמַיָּא.
Israeli
yehei sh'meh raba mevarach le-alam ule-almei almaya.

Forever and ever, may God’s great name be acknowledged!
Leader:
Hebrew
יִתְבָּרַךְ וְיִשְׁתַּבַּח וְיִתְפָּאַר וְיִתְרוֹמַם וְיִתְנַשֵּׂא
וְיִתְהַדָּר וְיִתְעַלֶּה וְיִתְהַלָּל שְׁמֵהּ דְּקֻדְשָׁא, בְּרִיךְ הוּא.
לְעֵלָּא מִן כָּל [לְעֵלָּא לְעֵלָּא מִכָּל]
בִּרְכָתָא וְשִׁירָתָא תֻּשְׁבְּחָתָא וְנֶחֱמָתָא דַּאֲמִירָן בְּעָלְמָא,
וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן.
Israeli

veyithadar veyitaleh veyithalal sh'meh d'kudsha, b'rich hu.
le-ela min kol [le-ela le-ela mikol]
birchata veshirata tushbechata venechemata da-amiran be-alma,
ve-imru Amen.
English
May the Holy One’s name be celebrated and acknowledged, worshipped and lauded, honored and exalted, acclaimed and extolled—though God, who is blessed, b’rikh hu, remains truly [on Shabbat Shuvah we add: far] beyond every acknowledgment and praise, or any expressions of thanks or consolation ever uttered in the world. And we say: Amen.
הַגְבָּהַת הַתּוֹרָה

Raising the Torah

Two individuals are summoned to raise and bind the Sefer Torah once it is read. As the Torah is lifted, we stand and recite:
Two people are summoned for Hagbah and Gelilah, raising and binding the Sefer Torah. When the Torah is raised, we stand and recite:
Hebrew
וְזֹאת הַתּוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר שָׂם מֹשֶׁה לִפְנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל
עַל פִּי יְהוָה בְּיַד מֹשֶׁה.
Israeli
vezot hatorah asher sam Mosheh lifnei b'nei Yisra-el
al pi Adonai b'yad Mosheh.
English
This is the Torah that Moses placed before the people Israel, God’s word by Moses’ hand.
