Why can't Jews touch their holy book?
It is permissible to touch the covered scroll. The only prohibition is to touch the actual parchment itself. That is forbidden out of respect. Also, you don't touch the parchment with your hand so that you don't get the parchment dirty. Even just the oil from your skin can mark or smudge the text. The Talmud forbids touching the Torah-parchment directly (Talmud, Shabbat 14a), as a matter of respect and in order not to damage the letters. Instead, in order to point to words while reading the Torah, they use a silver pointer called a Yad.
