Sephardi Sefer Torah

(1/5) > >>

Eliezer Ben Avraham:
With a Sephardi Sefer Torah, how do they lift it up for "v'zot Hatorah", is it not as heavy as it looks, or do they have some other way of lifting it?

jdl4ever:
They do, I've seen it.  It is heavy though as I've carried those Sefrai Torahs a couple of times and they are extremely heavy since they have a bulky metal casing. 

Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
We got muscles. What Askenazim don't lift theirs? - Or actually its smaller right?

jdl4ever:
We don't have the bulky metal casing that looks like a garbage can  :D.  It's just the scroll by us so it's lighter and easier to hold on to.

There's a guy at my Shul who's scaringly strong - he could probably carry 4 Sifrei Torah on the nail of his left pinky (a frum Chuck Norris).  There's a funny story with him and and NK guy...  ;D
