Should the person who gets an aliyah to the Torah also layn (read from the Torah)? Answer It is not logical that the person getting an aliyah should make the bracha for another person to layn. It is proper that he who makes the bracha should also be the one to layn. Most people do not realize that this is in fact the way that the Torah should be read according to the Rambam. See Rambam, Hilchoth Tefillah, Chapter 12, Halacha 5. http://www.mechon-mamre.org/i/2212n.htm This unfortunately is not the common practice in most minyanim,but this is indeed the practice at Beth Midrash Machon Shilo's Nusach Eretz Yisrael minyan.
