Reply To: Borrowing/Loaning a Sefer Torah

@Joseph
Your assumption is correct. Posts are often delayed before they show up in the CR.
I had tried calling my shul Rav, but he was at the local hospital visiting a congregant and could not be reached before I posted.
I did ask my shul Rav yesterday morning and he agreed with my reasoning. He told me the shul only lets a sefer torah out for shivah minyan if it is taken by the gabbai or Rav who is attending the minyan and returned immediately after the minyan. Never having to have borrowed a sefer torah, I never have asked the rules.
