Reply To: Ya’amod!

I’m sorry if I was less than clear or didn’t fully explain.

No, I never stopped laining. B”H, despite two years of pancreatic cancer, I’ve still managed to continue laining just about every week. The only difference is that before, when I was standing during laining and between aliyos, when the gabbi would call me up, I wouldn’t have to do anything, because I was already standing there. I just waited until the gabbai finished his MiSheberachs and then would recite the Birchas HaTorah for my own aliya.

Now, I sit down after every aliya, so when the gabbi says “Ya’amod…,” I sit until the gabbai finished the MiSheberachs (whereupon I get up and to recite the Birchas HaTorah).
