| Mar 7, 2017 at 21:43 | comment | added | Argon | @Heshy It is not clear how they were rolled. It is possible that it could have been rolled without a bar. I am also not sure if there always was a tradition to have the entire torah in a single scroll. | |
| Mar 7, 2017 at 20:19 | comment | added | Heshy | Wait, so you mean that when they got towards Vezot Haberacha they would spend 10 minutes beforehand unrolling and 10 minutes afterwards rerolling, every Monday and Thursday and twice on Shabbos? That's very inconvenient. | |
