When reading from the Torah scroll we are not supposed to touch the surface with our hands so a yad (hand) is used. A yad is a metal pointer used to keep track of where in the text the reader is.
The pointer used when reading the Torah is called a 'yad' which means hand. The yad is used to keep the reader's place while he or she is chanting the Torah. This is used instead of the person's finger so as not to damage the parchment and writing.
It's used as both a "pointer" to follow the text, and to ensure that the reader doesn't touch the parchment. Not touching the parchment is one of the ways we show reverence for the scroll.
