Question
Is it permitted according to Halacha to transfer a Sefer Torah from the regular synagogue where it is kept to another synagogue, for the Torah reading on the Shabbat of my son’s bar mitzvah? This is a Sefer Torah that was written by my father‑in‑law, which I did the tagging (lining) for, and which we donated to a synagogue in Petach Tikva for the elevation of my sister’s soul, of blessed memory, and it is important to me that my son read specifically from this Sefer Torah on the Shabbat of his bar mitzvah.
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
The ruling of our teacher, HaRav HaGaon Rabbi Amram Fried shlita:
One should not take the Sefer Torah out of the synagogue in order to read it at home.
