(me'il)
Manto, spesso decorato e lavorato con stoffe pregiate, utilizzato per proteggere il rotolo della Torah quando non è utilizzato.
In alcune comunità, come quelle sefardite o romaniote, qualsiasi tessuto per la Torah era spesso chiamati genericamente “mappah”, rendendo a volte difficile capire a quale elemento si facesse riferimento nello specifico: un rivestimento, un legante o un manto.
