Torah case (tik)
Enrich the Great Bookתיק
Description
Rigid cylindrical case, of wood covered with repoussé metal or leather, that encloses the Torah scroll vertically in the Sephardic and Eastern rites. It opens like a book and allows reading without removing the parchment.
Significance
It distinguishes Eastern liturgical practice from the Ashkenazi use of the cloth mantle and sumptuously protects the sacred text.
