Aliyot upon the Torah

Once the Torah has been set on the bimah, the gabbai summons a Kohen to the Torah by saying the following. If no Kohen is present, the gabbai summons 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

Hebrew

חַיִּים כֻּלְּכֶם הַיּוֹם:
Chabad

chayim kul'chem hayoym:
The oleh (person who is called up to the Torah) should come to the Torah directly and without delay, so as to show his love and enthusiasm for the Torah.

Blessings Upon The Torah

The reader indicates to the oleh which words are to be read in the Torah. The oleh touches those words with his tallit's corner or with the Torah's belt, and kisses it. He then shuts the Torah and recites the following blessing as he grips the Torah's handles and turns his head rightward, lest he seem to be reading from the Torah. See page 945 for transliteration.
Hebrew
בָּרְכוּ אֶת יְהֹוָה הַמְבֹרָךְ:
Chabad
bor'chu es Adonoy ham'voyroch:
The congregation and the oleh recite together:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה הַמְבֹרָךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד:
Chabad
boruch Adonoy ham'voyroch l'oylom vo-ed:
The oleh goes on:

Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ
הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר בָּנוּ
מִכָּל הָעַמִּים,1 וְנָתַן לָנוּ אֶת תּוֹרָתוֹ.

boruch atoh Adonoy, noysein hatoyroh:
Once reading has finished, the oleh touches the final and opening words that were read with his tallit's corner or with the Torah's belt, and kisses it. He then shuts the Torah and recites the following blessing as he grips the Torah's handles and turns his head rightward, lest he seem to be reading from the Torah.
Once the reading has ended, the oleh touches the closing and opening words that were read with his tallit's corner or with the Torah's belt, and kisses it. He then shuts the Torah and recites the following blessing as he grips the Torah's handles and turns his head rightward, lest he seem to be reading from the Torah.
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם,
אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָנוּ תּוֹרַת אֱמֶת,2
וְחַיֵּי עוֹלָם נָטַע בְּתוֹכֵנוּ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה
יְהֹוָה, נוֹתֵן הַתּוֹרָה:
Chabad
boruch atoh Adonoy Eloyheinu melech ho-oylom,
asher nosan lonu Toyras emes,
v'chayei oylom nota b'soycheinu. boruch atoh
Adonoy, noysein hatoyroh:
The oleh stays standing near the Torah until the end of the next aliyah (or, should his have been the last aliyah, until after the raising of the Torah). When the oleh returns to his place, he should not take the shortest route, showing his love for the Torah and his reluctance to leave it.
Once the final aliyah is done, the Torah is covered and Half Kaddish,, is recited by a mourner or someone who is commemorating a yahrtzeit. If none are present, the reader of the Torah recites it. See page 953 for transliteration.
Hebrew
יִתְגַּדַּל וְיִתְקַדַּשׁ שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא. (אָמֵן)
בְּעָלְמָא דִּי בְרָא כִרְעוּתֵהּ וְיַמְלִיךְ מַלְכוּתֵהּ,
