The Torah is the Five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. At a synagogue or temple, the Torah scroll is housed in an Ark (a wooden closed designed for the purpose) and has a cloth cover that is placed over the top handles of the scroll and protects the parchment scroll. Over the cover, a yad, a pointer for keeping one's place and following the words while reading the Torah. The yad is important because the natural oils on hands would damage the Torah, so the pointer is used instead of fingers.
