#Even if the baal koreh pronounces the words in another dialect than one usually uses, such as an Ashekanzi listening to a Sephardi baal koreh, one fulfills one's obligation. The only times for which one should be strict to hear the Kriyat Hatorah from someone who uses the same pronunciation as oneself is Parshat Zachor and Parshat Parah. <ref>Yalkut Yosef 282:15</ref> | #Even if the baal koreh pronounces the words in another dialect than one usually uses, such as an Ashekanzi listening to a Sephardi baal koreh, one fulfills one's obligation.

# The honor of opening the Aron and passing the Sefer Torah to the Shaliach Tzibur or the one who is going to carry it is a great honor and not automatically acquired by the Shaliach Tzibbur.<ref>Rama 147:2 citing the Mordechai. Mishna Brurah 147;15 comments that although someone does Peticha he just passes the Sefer Torah to the Shaliach Tzibbur and he carries it to the Bimah.</ref> | |||
# When opening the Aron if there's a curtain it is acceptable to move the curtain either from left to right or right to left.<ref>Perisha 128:23 writes that the concept of always moving from left to right only applies to when you have to turn but not if you're just moving in a straight line right to left. (The concept of lighting Chanuka candles doesn't seem to fit this model.)</ref> | |||

#A person should be very careful while doing Gelilah not to touch the klaf directly. If the klaf needs to be straightened it should be done with the use of a tallit or cloth.<ref>Gemara Megillah 32a states that someone who touches the klaf of a Sefer Torah with their bare hands will be buried bare. The gemara is troubled by that and instead concludes that he will be buried without the mitzvah that he was involved with at that time. Tur and Shulchan Aruch O.C. 147:1 codify this halacha. Mishna Brurah 147:2 gives as an example that if the klaf isn't straight and needs to be fixed it can be done with the use of a tallit or cloth.</ref> | #A person should be very careful while doing Gelilah not to touch the klaf directly.
