משה רבינו ונביאים שעמו תקנו שיהו קורין בתורה בשני וחמישי. כדי שלא ישהו ישראל שלשה ימים בלא תורה. ושני וחמישי הם ימי רצון. שבשני עלה משרע"ה לקבל לוחות אחרונים וירד בחמישי. ומתקנת עזרא שיהו קורין תלתא גברי. וכשמוציאין ס"ת צריך לנהוג בו כבוד הרבה ויביט בו משעה שמוציאין אותו מהארון עד שמניחין אותו במקומו. ולא ידבר דברים ושיחה בטילה. כי זה הוא ביזוי התורה. (דה"ח)

*Moses and the Elders with him ordained that the Torah be read in public on Shabbos, Monday and Thursday mornings. The Talmud (Maseches Baba Kama 82), notes that Ezra later instituted that three men should be called up to read a total of at least ten verses from the Torah. He also enacted that the Torah be read at the Shabbos Mincha (afternoon) service. When the Torah is removed from the Ark, great care is taken to honor it. It is escorted by as many people as possible from the moment it is taken out of the Ark until it is placed on the reading table. We embrace and kiss the Torah during the procession and refrain from idle chatter. While the Torah is being read, you must be silent and listen to each word.*

Whenever the Ark traveled, Moses would say: “Rise, Adonoy and let Your enemies be scattered, and those who hate You, flee before You.” For from Zion will go forth the Torah, and the word of Adonoy from Jerusalem. Blessed is He Who gave the Torah to His people Israel in His holiness.
