Nehemiah 8:5 provides the basis for one part of this practice known as "hagbah," which is paired with the practice of "gelilah," while mishaps during this practice can result in a congregation being obligated to fast for a day. One practice for proper fulfillment of this action involves notations which are not visible known as "traup" or "neginot," the rarest of which is the "shalshelet." This practice is interrupted for 7 "aliyot," the first two of which are reserved for the "cohen" and "levy." Lesser forms of it are practiced during the Monday and Thursday morning prayers and before a particular instance of this, a father is called to recite a blessing that frees him from the "evils" or misdeeds of his offspring. Whether women can participate in this action, after which an object is paraded around the congregation for kissing, is a controversy in Modern Orthodoxy. Requiring all males over 13 to participate on a holiday following Sukkot, for 10 points, identify this action, in which portions of the Pentateuch are read from a scroll.
