The Torah blessing
The blessing the person called up to the Torah says before the reading — “who chose us from all the peoples and gave us His Torah.” The words you'll say at your own first aliyah.
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha'olam, asher bachar banu mikol ha'amim, v'natan lanu et Torato.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who chose us from all the peoples and gave us His Torah.
The same six-word opening you know, then the words of being chosen and given the Torah.

Look closer — tap a word for its root
Baruch atah Adonai, noten haTorah.
Blessed are You, Lord, Giver of the Torah.
Said after the reading. Short — and easy to recognize.
