Question
On the groom's Shabbat, a Torah scroll was brought without ten people. Is atonement required?
Answer
There is no obligation, but some have the custom to do so. However, Rabbi Moshe Ricanti in Siman 43 wrote that one who carries a Torah scroll from one synagogue to another should be accompanied by ten people out of respect for the Torah scroll, but it is not a prohibition, only a matter of respect. See also 'Emet LeYaakov' in the laws of taking out the Torah scroll, letter 12, and 'LeDavid Emet', Siman 3, letter 12. There are also those who are lenient when moving from one synagogue to another by accompanying it with ten people.
