Maftir
Maftir (Hebrew: מפ×יר), informally, refers to the final section of the weekly parsha read on Shabbat and holiday mornings in synagogue from a Torah scroll; technically, it means the person who is called to read that section. The maftir section of a Torah portion is usually a repetition of either the last part, or the entirety of the previous reading.
