A Sephardic Shul in Eretz Yisroel keeps a Minhag written in “Mesechta Sofrim”, by placing their Sifrei Torah on the floor of the Shul on Tisha B’Av.

See the video and the Mesechta Sofrim below:

    This is NOT the general minhag of Sephardic Jews. None of the shuls in our (Sephardic) community ever did this.

    Does anyone / the author of the piece know the name of the shul?

    Interesting!
    Ashkenazi Jews fast for 40 days when chalila a Torah falls to the floor. I certainly see a difference between the two minhags but the deliberate act of placing on the floor seems astounding to us Ashkenazic folk.
