An interruption during an aliyah

Hi,

If the oleh (person who ascends to the Torah for an aliyah) recites the opening berachah, and then speaks before the reading begins, then he must recite a new opening berachah.

If the baal keriah (person reading the aliyah aloud) speaks after the opening berachah and before beginning the reading, there is no need for a new opening berachah.

(Rivivot Ephraim 1:102)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
