Passage 4. Three persons are summoned to the Torah on Mondays and Thursdays, and a section of the opening of that week's Torah portion is read. On Chanukah, Purim, and public fast days, three persons are likewise summoned. The portions read suit the occasion and begin on page 467. true Passage 5. On Rosh Chodesh and Chol HaMoed (given the additional Amidah, Musaf), four persons are summoned for the reading of the designated Torah portions. true Passage 6. On Tishah b'Av, the third person summoned reads a special Haftarah. true heading THOSE TO BE CALLED TO THE TORAH READING Passage 1. A Kohen is summoned to the Torah for the first aliyah, and a Levi for the second. true Passage 2. If no Kohen is present, a Levi or Yisrael may be summoned for the first aliyah. However, the following text is substituted: וּתְנוּ כָבוֹד לַתּוֹרָה, אֵין כָּאן כֹּהֵן יַעֲמוֹד (name) בֶּן (father's name) יִשְׂרָאֵל / לֵוִי בִּמְקוֹם כֹּהֵן, בָּרוּךְ שֶׁנָּתַן... true Passage 3. If a Yisrael is summoned for the first or second aliyah, a Levi may not be summoned after him. true Passage 4. Should no Levi be available for the second aliyah, the Kohen who was summoned for the first aliyah is summoned again, and recites both blessings again. He is reintroduced by the announcement: "בִּמְקוֹם לֵוִי". true Passage 5. Should Kohanim and Levi'im be present but no Yisraelim, Kohanim and Levi'im are summoned in turn. true Passage 6. If too few Yisraelim are present for the aliyot yet there are Kohanim (and one Levi), the first three aliyot are: Kohen, Levi, Yisrael. Subsequent aliyot go to the Yisraelim until no more Yisraelim remain present. For the remaining aliyot, Kohanim are summoned. For example, when only three Yisraelim are present on Shabbat, the sequence would be: 1) Kohen, 2) Levi, 3) Yisrael; next 4) Yisrael, 5) Yisrael; last 6) Kohen, 7) Kohen. true Passage 7. If Yisraelim are too few, and there are Kohanim—yet not enough to complete the amount of aliyot—and at least two Levi'im, the sequence of "Kohen, Levi, Yisrael" is repeated. For example, on Shabbat the outcome would be: 1) Kohen, 2) Levi, 3) Yisrael; next 4) Kohen, 5) Levi, 6) Yisrael; last 7) Kohen. true Passage 8. If all those present are Kohanim, a different Kohen is summoned for each aliyah. The same holds if all are Levi'im. However, if one Yisrael is present besides them, he is summoned first. Likewise if a single Levi is found in a shul of Kohanim, or a single Kohen in a shul of Levi'im (and no Yisraelim are there). true Passage 9. No additions ought to be made to the prescribed number of aliyot at each reading. true Passage 10. On Shabbat and festivals, a Kohen or a Levi may be summoned for the מַפְטִיר. true heading THANKSGIVING BLESSING FOR DELIVERANCE FROM DANGER Passage 1. These four are bound to offer a special blessing of thanksgiving: one who has crossed a sea, whether by ship or airplane; one who has passed through a wilderness and reached an inhabited area; one taken captive or imprisoned whose life stood in danger; and one who was gravely injured or confined to bed through illness for over three days and has recovered fully. true Passage 2. The practice is to say this blessing whenever one is delivered from harm in a life-threatening situation. true Passage 3. The blessing is uttered in the presence of a minyan; it is best to recite it immediately after an aliyah. Should he have received the final aliyah, he says it after the Half Kaddish. true Passage 4. If one is bound to say the blessing but did not receive an aliyah, he recites it after the Torah reading concludes, following the Half Kaddish. true Passage 5. One ought not postpone saying the blessing for more than three days. true
