Hello,
The lending topic was getting a little dry, so here's a change of pace: G'lilah, the practice of lifting and then wrapping the Torah after [or, in some communities, before] the Torah reading.
One may not touch the Torah parchment itself; one must use an intermediate material, to show respect for the scroll's contents.
(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 147:1; Mishneh Berurah 147:1)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
