#A bar mitzvah boy who missed the opportunity to read his parsha in shul when he became bar mitzvah'ed when it is next possible to go to shul he can add his parsha as a hosafa and read it then. Additionally, the haftorah can follow that hosafa.<ref>[https://zoom.us/rec/play/7sJ8f-2h_Dw3T4KRtgSDC6AoW429LfqshnVI-_tcmkewVnQEZlDyMrYTarN3uUfeS8PCmTWJp298J75t Rav Schachter (towards end)]</ref> | #A bar mitzvah boy who missed the opportunity to read his parsha in shul when he became bar mitzvah'ed when it is next possible to go to shul he can add his parsha as a hosafa and read it then.

Rather it is better to take out the sefer torah after davening to read without brachot. He explains that there's no prohibition to take out a sefer torah for learning and teaching torah even without brachot unlike the Netsiv (Meishiv Dvar 1:16 based on Magen Avraham 144:5 and Yerushalmi Brachot 52b; see also Torat Refael 2). Furthermore it isn't considered a disgrace to the sefer torah in an extenuating circumstance such as this. However, the rabbi should judge what makes the most sense and what will lead to the most kavod shamayim.</ref> | ||
