Question

It is common for people not to notice when the Torah scroll is taken out. Is it appropriate, out of respect for the Torah, to draw their attention to the fact that the Torah scroll has been taken out and they are obliged to stand, or since they did not notice, they are not obliged, and there is no point in drawing their attention?

Answer

Shalom Rav

Only for someone you know wants to stand and truly did not notice, you may draw their attention.

If you are not sure that this is their desire, today there is almost no possibility for rebuke.
