(atarah)
Ornamento a forma di corona posizionato sopra le aste del rotolo della Torah.
In Italia, la corona per la Torah è chiamata “atarah”. A Venezia, in occasione di Tisha beAv, delle corone in legno sostituiscono quelle in argento. In Alsazia (Francia), in occasione di Simchat Torah si fabbricano delle corone per la Torah a forma di fiore, di carta o in altro materiale.
