Yes
Go to synagogue
I assume you mean the curtains on the Ark (known to Ashkenazi Jews - those from North and Eastern Europe - as the Aron Kodesh and to the Sephardi - Jews from Spain, Portugal and North Africa - as the Hekhal) used to contain the Sefer Torah, as any other curtains in a synagogue are likely to be practical and of little significance. These curtains are known as parochet (also spelled paroches or parokhet. Most Arks are also fitted with doors - in Ashkenazi and Mizrahi (Jews from the Middle East) synagogues, the curtains will be outside the doors while in Sephardi synagogues they'll be inside.

Jews may not touch the Torah's parchment except when it is being written or repaired. They are allowed, however, to touch the covered scroll.
You should go online and read about your specific curtains, or find the tag if it is still intact. Most curtains are machine washable, and this is the best way to remove dust.
