yad

yad

In Judaism, an ornate silver pointer used to follow the text in the Torah scrolls during a reading in synagogue. The Torah is handwritten on parchment, and human touch would eventually erase the letters and damage the scroll. The yad is usually finely decorated, with a minature hand and pointing finger at one end. When not in use, it hangs over the front of the dressed scroll.
