Question:
During krias hatorah in between the aliyas when you cover the sefer torah do you cover it after the person who got an aliya makes his bracha or right away when the one who is laining finishes and closes the torah?
Answer:
Hello,
The minhag seems to be to cover it after the bracha is finished.
Best wishes
