We lift High the Torah, as we would exalt a King. Not that we worship the Torah, but the One Who gave her to us. Mark is liftig the Torah for all to see.
Jezreel, Ruby's husband, is returning the belt that holds the Torah in place....
The Mantle, the silver plate (the beastplate) and then Yad (the pointer we use to point to the words on the Torah. Since it is lamb's skin, we touch the scroll with our fingers, since the oil would destroy the scroll)
We are returning the Torah back into the Holy Ark with the same love and respect we took her out. We will await the next time (Wednesday) that she will be taken out again be read.
