Q. We have already done during Parshas Zachor an interesting and very liked addition. A Mispalel of ours, who is of Yemenite origin, sings and reads the Torah beautifully with his special Nusach and great voice. On Parshas Zachor after the special Maftir reading of the Torah of this parsha in the regular traditional Ashkenazi tune, he repeats the reading with his beautiful Yemenite nushach, to the benefit and pleasure of all. Is that correct?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is proper. However, the Yemenite reader, should be present next to the Torah at the time when the one receiving that Aliya is reciting the blessing on the Torah and should be included on that blessing as well as with the bracha after now also his reading of the Torah.
