Yad (Torah pointer)
Yad means hand. Given that once it has been opened, the Sefer Torah (Torah scroll) is not allowed to be touched by human hands, the yad acts as an outstretched finger to help readers track their progress. The inscription on the pointer names Meir Oppenheimer as the donor.
Torah
Torah The five Books of Moses at the beginning of the Bible, which are read in the synagogue (Sacred Jewish building for gatherings, services and social and cultural events within the Jewish community.) over the period of a year. The term also refers to the scroll that is stored in the Torah ark.
