The Torah is taken out of a cabinet in the synagogue (called a holy ark), and chanted from every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. It is studied and celebrated. Many congregations parade it around the synagogue, just prior to reading.
Each week a different portion is read, and every year at the end, the whole cycle is started over again.
