Reply To: 2 Luchos on Shovuos?

Answering AAQ whether the luchos were facing Moshe or the Yidden, it is actually a shial how to hold a sefer tora. Most people (and poskim) hold a Sefer Torah with the writing facign the oilam (and that is why the front of the mantel is showing). I beleive the Chazon Ish and perhaps others hold that it is disrepectful to have the writing facing away from you, and therefore they have the back of the ST facing the oilam, while they themselves are facing the Torah face to face.
