Introduction / Ushering in / Dedication of a new Torah Scroll
Although Wikipedia uses inaugurationin its section title, I prefer the way it explains the custom in the text (see examples).
Machon Ott in Israel uses A New Torah Dedication Ceremony (see second link)
Machon Ott in Israel uses A New Torah Dedication Ceremony (see second link)
Example sentence:
Introduction of a new Sefer Torah into a synagogue is done in a ceremony known as Hachnasat Sefer Torah
Hebrew: הכנסת ספר תורה, lit., ushering in the Torah scroll
