When the curtains to the Ark are open you can see the Torah scrolls. There is only one here today, but usually the Ark is full of Torah scrolls with fine mantles (covers) and decorations. The mantle protects the Torah Scrolls. During the service in the synagogue, the Torah scrolls are taken out of the Ark. The decorations and mantle are taken off and the scrolls are held up high for everyone to see. They are very heavy. |
