Reply To: Is this allowed according to halachah

golfer I wish u could of told that to a conservative jewish rabbi that works at a conservative jewish day school, he had a class where he had little kids touch the inside of the torah, unfortunately there was an orthodox teacher that works there that took part in holding up the torah so the kids could touch it, when an orthodox Jew heard what he did he tried balling him out, but the conservative rabbi claimed he did nothing wrong, and infact he claimed there is a shul that is orthodox in NYC that allows it.
