On Shabbat haGadol Hashcavah for Ishac de Pinto On Shabbat Noach Hashcavah for Abrham de Isac Orobio de Castro (see meldadura)	215	השכבה מה רב
Hanoteen: Shamash opens the Heichal; Shamash takes the rimonim for levantar (Ashk, “hagbaha”) from the Heichal and holds on to them; the person honored with Abrir (abridor) walks to the Heichal; while the Congregation chants “uva letzion goel” the Heichal is closed by the Shamash and is then opened again by the Abridor On Shabbat Kings/Queens day or the Shabbat thereafter הנותן is said later.	69 insert	הנותן
The abridor takes the ponteiro (yad) from the Sefer and holds on to it. On the Shabbat after Yom Haatzmaut the words מדינת ישראל ויגדיל שם התורה וישדארה וגם are skipped and so is מי שברך ... חיילים are later.	226 middle 233	מי שברך ... מדינת ישראל מי שברך ... חיילים
The Chazzan bows towards the Heichal; Chazzan & Parnas go to Heichal. The chazzan precedes but at the gate before the Heichal he gives precedence to the Parnas. In front of the Heichal the Abridor hands the ponteiro (yad) to the parnas.	136	כוהניך ילבשו צדק
Before the Heichal, Mi Sheberach is said for Abridor, levador (carrier of the sefer) and acompanhador (who walks in front of the sefer and holds the cloak)		מי שברך
At Gadelu the levador takes the Sefer out of the Heichal. Then they walk to the Tebah in the following order: Acompanhador, levador (1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd sefer; the sefer inclines forward, it does not rest on the shoulder), Parnas, Chazzan, Shamash. At the Tebah, the Shamash places the rimonim for levantar on the reader’s desk, the Chazzan stands on the left side of the desk, the Parnas on the right side. The two boys remove the rimonim and put them on the placeholders in front of the Tebah. The Acompanhador takes off the capa (Torah mantle). The boy who was honoured with Ets Haim holds the sefer horizontally whilst the other boy, who was appointed desenfaixador, unwinds the sefer and together they wind up the fiaxa (band) from the sepfer. The Chazzan times his slow repetition of “Kie Shem ....” so that he finishes withותנו כבוד לתורה precisely when the levador places the sefer on the reader’s desk.	70	גדלו ליי רוממו ... ותנו כבוד לתורה
The levantador opens the sefer, the Chazzan and the parnas place the levantar rimonim on sefer, and while the levantador raises it aloft, the Congregation exclaims “Torat Moshe Emet”. When the levantador turns to the left, towards the president, those facing the script say ‘Vezot ...’. Then he turns three more times counterclockwise until all have faced the script and recited these words. Finally he faces the hehal and all the worshippers say “Ha’El ...” while the sefer is lowered back onto the reader’s desk. Chazzan and Parnas place the levantar rimonim on their stands at the front corners of the Tebah, while the chazzan repeats “Ha’El..”. The acompanhador takes his place a few steps behind where those called to the Torah will be standing. The Parnas hands the ponteiro to the Chazzan.	71	תורת משה אמת וזאת התורה.. האל תמים דרכו..
A subinte (congregant called to the Torah) is summoned by the Chazzan. He takes the nearest stairs on his way up the Tebah, and the other stairs when he goes down after the reading. On the stairs he says יי עמכם, the congregants answer יברכך יי. We say this באדנו"ת , not השם. This is based on Ruth 2:4. If he was already on the tebah this is not said.		יעמוד
After the beracha and before the reading, the congregant turns clockwise and bows towards the one who was previously called and who is now standing behind him. Thus the Cohen nods to the acompanhador, the Levi to the Cohen, etc. The one previously called now takes a seat on the bench on the Tebah and stays there until the end of the reading of the next Subinte, upon which he returns to his own seat. The acompanhador of course remains on the Tebah.	71	ברכות לעולה
Order: Cohen, Levi, five, in order of importance: 7-3-6-4-5 or 3-7-6-4-5. 6^th is samuch, 7^th mashlim. About Chiyuvim (obligations) Recording of all parasot Reading of the Shira and the Ten Commandments		פרשה
When one of the five books is completed, after the last words, before the beracha of the mashlim, “Chazak venichazak ...’ is said by the congregation and repeated by the Chazzan.	137	חזק ונתחזק, חזקו ויאמץ ללבכם כל המייחלים ליי
Beracha after the reading	71	ברכות לעולה
Hagomel can be said by the subinte after the reading, It can also be said separately either before the Parasha or after the service. Then the person, man or woman, who says the Hagomel, opens the Heichal. It requires Minyan. A Mi Sheberach always follows Hagomel.	209	הגומל המברך: ב'א'יי'א'מ'ה הגמל לחייבים טובות, שגמלני כל טוב. החזן: הא'ל אשר גמלך כל טוב וחן וחסד, וחמלה, יתברך ויתרומם על כל ברכה ותהילה, הוא ברחמיו ישמרך, ויגמלך לעד כל טוב סלה. מי שברך
A subinte can have the chazzan make Hashcavah and Mi Sheberach. After a Hashcava, a Mi Sheberach is obligatory: um (one) Euro למנוחת הנפש הנזכרת, מנוחתה תהא בגן עדן Hascavah is made in the week following the yarzheit (Remembrance Day), see SH page 173, 2nd paragraph. At the end of his Mi Sheberach, he takes a few steps backward and stands put until the next subinte finishes his initial beracha.	Short (man or woman) or long starting for Chacham here for man with title ending for all	השכבה לאיש, לאשה מי שברך לעולה
After the mashlim, Kaddish, followed by Mi sheberach for the Subinte		קדיש לעילא, מי שברך לעולה
Whilst the second or third sefer is put on the reader’s desk and the previous one is removed, the Chazan says “E. Tzeva’ot... Ein KaEl Yeshurun ...”. The undresssing of the second and third sefer is done during the Mi Sheberach and not during the reading itself. The sefarim are then covered with the mantle until needed. All are redressed during the Haftarah. When the levador holds the sefer, e.g. during the Haftarah, he holds is in his hands leaning forward, not resting on his shoulder, nor does he put it in a holder or alike.	136	אלהי'ם צבאות השיבנו והאר פניך ונושעה. אין כא'ל ישורון רכב שמים בעזרך, ובגאותו שחקים
The Maftir is called by the single word “Maftir”. At the end of the Torah reading the Chazzan hands the ponteiro to the Parnas. Boys say haftara		מפטיר
If there is a second or third sefer		קדיש לעילא
The Parnas signals to the Maftir by saying ‘bechavod’. That he may begin the reading. Recording of all haftarot During the Haftarah de Chazzan stands on the left of the reader’s desk and remains there until “Mizmor leDavid.” The boys redress the sefer in the same way they undressed it. The desenfaixador knots the straps of the fiaxa (band) and holds the knot with his finger. The Shamash makes a strong bow.		ברכות לפני ההפטרה הפטרה
If Rosh Chodesh falls on Shabbat or Sunday, special Haftaroth are read: השמים כיסאי or מחר חודש If another Haftarah must be read, the fist and last verses of the השמים כיסאי or מחר חודש are added after the special Haftarah. If Shabbat and Sunday are Rosh Chodesh, the abbreviation of both Haftarot are added. These verses are recited by the congregation and then repeated by the Maftir. Example: if Sunday is second day of Rosh Chodesh, then the first and last sentences of the Haftarah מחר חודש are added to the Haftarah of Rosh Chodesh השמים כיסאי.		הפטרה ראש חודש השמים כיסאי מחר חודש abbreviated השמים כיסאי מחר חודש שבת ויום ראשון ר"ח
Goaleinu is song by the congregation and repeated by the Maftir		גואלינו ברכות אחרי ההפטרה ברכת על התורה

The Abridor and the Shamash (carrying the levantar rimonim) walk towards the Heichal	138	ברוך יי יהי ה' ... בכל אשר תלך
The chazzan from left corner of Tebah, chants yimloh twice, each time repeated by the congregation. He kisses the sefer. The abridor opens the Heichal before the first yimloch. The Shamash places the levantar rimonim back in the Heichal.	139	ימלוך
The congregation sings Mizmor ledavid. The Chazzan, while starting the first two words, bows towards the Heichal. The procession returns to the Heichal in the following order: acompanhador, levador (sefer carrier 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd sefer), Chazzan, Parnas (carrying the ponteiro). At the gate before the Heichal the Chazzan lets the Parnas enter first. At arrival the sefer is placed in the Heichal, the Parnas hands the ponteiro to the Abridor, who tucks it into the band wrapped around the sefer.	112	מזמור לדוד
A mi sheberach may be recited in front of the Heichal, if requested		מי שברך

[1] Announced every morning if Arvit the evening before was prayed before tseth hacochavim (“night”). This is always the case on Friday night, as Shabbat in summer starts very late.

[2] According to Seder Chazzanut this is said two days before Yom Tov after Mincha, but now a days it is said on Shabbat before Yom Tov too.
