Iirc, the Torah was read with the priests standing before the public at the Temple entrance, reading it in Hebrew. As Hebrew was not the language du jour at the time, it was simultaneously or right afterwards read in Aramaic.
I saw in maybe one or two shuls where, with the completion of each line of a parsha being ritually read during services, there was a person standing next to the bimah who would then read the same line in English, sometimes even using the same tune, from a Chumash. It didn’t seem to interrupt the flow of the reading or detract from the service at all. I don’t see why it would not be against halacha to do this.
Have you seen this done? Do you think it should be brought back?
