The custom is to try to glimpse the written words in the Sefer Torah during the first Hagba and then, holding the Sefer Torah after the second Hagba when removing it from the Bimah, is another chance to access HaShem’s light. Reb Michel explained: “You’re holding HaShem in your hands – so it’s a good opportunity to speak to Him!”
