#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 granted to 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> | #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 granted to the Shaliach Tzibbur.<ref>Rama 147:2 citing the Mordechai.

#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.

Some say it is best to open the parochet from left to right.<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. Bear Moshe 5:38:1 agrees that essentially it doesn't matter, but in a new shul they should institute the practice to be that they open the parochet from left to right in order to satisfy the opinions that you need to turn to the right even when things are in a line. (The concept of lighting Chanuka candles doesn't seem to fit this model.)</ref> | ||

#If the wrong sefer torah was taken out of the Aron and it needs to be rolled, it should be rolled and not returned to the Aron. congregation accidentally took.<ref>Igrot Moshe OC 2:37 writes that if they took out the wrong sefer torah it is a dispute between earlier poskim whether it is considered a disrespect to the first sefer torah and a concern that people will think it is invalid. The Gemara Yoma 70a says that it is forbidden to use two sifrei torah for one aliyah since people will think that the first one is invalid. However, that concern doesn't exist when switching sifrei torah between aliyot. Potentially before they started to read altogether that's like between aliyot and there's no concern of it appearing invalid. On the other hand, since they didn't read from that sefer altogether it appears to be invalid. Rav Moshe concludes that one who follows either option has what to rely upon. Yet if the congregation doesn't mind they should roll it as opposed to returning it. Rav Ovadia Yosef in Yabia Omer OC 8:15:4 and Halacha Brurah 144:5 agree.</ref> Some poskim hold that it is better to return the sefer torah and take the one which is already rolled to the right spot.<ref>Mayim Chayim Mashash 2:19 writes that although it is a machloket haposkim if it is better to return the sefer torah or to roll it in public since rolling it in public isn't respectful to the congregation's time and also will lead people to speak frivolously.</ref> | #If the wrong sefer torah was taken out of the Aron and it needs to be rolled, it should be rolled and not returned to the Aron. congregation accidentally took.<ref>Igrot Moshe OC 2:37 writes that if they took out the wrong sefer torah it is a dispute between earlier poskim whether it is considered a disrespect to the first sefer torah and a concern that people will think it is invalid.
