What you'll learn
- Reading the Torah: Ceremony and Tradition. When the Torah scroll comes out of the ark on Shabbat morning, you might notice something that looks almost like choreography—people passing it hand to hand, standing at particular moments, chanting in a specific rhythm.
- Preserving the Torah Scroll: Care and Restoration. A Torah scroll must be handled and stored with extreme care because the parchment, ink, and stitching are fragile and irreplaceable — damage to even one klaf can render the entire scroll unfit for use.
