If the damage is confined to one relatively small area, then that piece can be removed
and either repaired or replaced. If the damage is spread throughout a large part of
the scroll, such as the result of flood or fire damage, then the entire scroll is retired.
In either case, the damaged section or scroll are buried, in a Jewish cemetary.
Also in either case, a Torah with any fault, damage, or blemish may not be used for
the public reading during the synagogue service, even if the damaged part is far
from the portion being read. Any reading from any part of the text requires a
completely perfect scroll.
