"TORAH FACTS"
Torah Fact: Every synagogue ark should contain at least three Torahs.
Since there are Sabbaths in the Jewish calendar when the Torah reading consists of selections from three different parts of the Torah, it is advisable for every synagogue to possess at least three Torahs. Should a congregation have less than that number, it would be necessary for congregants to suffer the inconvenience of waiting lengthy periods while a scroll is rolled from one place to another. With thanks to The Jewish Book of Why - The Torah, by Alfred J. Kolatch
