Question
On Shabbat, the Baal Koreh made a mistake and did not read one word in the Torah. They finished the prayer and had already completed Mussaf, and then several congregants pointed it out, causing confusion in the synagogue. I would like to know what should have been done?
Answer
Shalom and blessings. It is necessary to take out the Torah scroll again and read the verse where one word was forgotten, along with two adjacent verses, and call one of the congregants to come up to the Torah and recite the blessing.
