still some of those Torahs look like they could weigh over 50 pounds and it doesnt look like there is a good way to lift it, no handles on the bottom...
jdl4ever:
When the Sephardim lift it up to Vsot Habracha, I've seen one guy lifts it off the table and places it on the other guy's hands who shows it so he has some help.

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

I figured most NK people are normally very submissive. Once, once told me "the arabs would never have hurt us, we carried their vegetables for them, we were like donkeys for them, we had no problems with them.." (their idea is that dignity is a foreign notion. As long as they can keep the torah, it is fine).
I have no idea what they would make of the midrash rav kahane ztl used to quote, with observation from the Gerrer Rebbe. (Why was the torah given on a small mountain.. So we should be humble. OK. so why wasn`t it given in a valley? Reason is that G-d wanted to teach us that we should not be too humble that we get trodden on. We should be mountains, not arrogant mountains)
What is the story though with the NK guy and the strong sephardi?

Ashkenazim do not use a case. Just clothes.

I got called to carry the Torah (sephardic) last week, believe me it is pretty heavy, especially ones with heavy metal cases. The wood 1s arent as heavy.
