Question
Hello, we have a problem in the synagogue: the Baal Kore is very pressed for time because he has to read in another minyan and often arrives late, so he urges the Maftir to begin the blessing immediately after the Magbiah lifts the book, and there are always arguments. We wanted to know what Halacha says about this?
Answer
Hello and blessings. Indeed, there is an issue with starting the blessing before the Golel has completely finished rolling and dressing the mantle and everything necessary. It is advisable to speak with the Baal Kore to learn the Halacha together and see what needs to be done, and take out the Shulchan Aruch and see together what the Halacha says, but everything should be done pleasantly and gently, and love truth and peace.
