Why chassidei Shatz-Vizhnitz read the Torah through the bars?
During a Shabbos get together conducted by the Shatz-Vizhnitz chassidus in the presence of the Rebbe, it became clear that the key to the Aron Kodesh was lost, and another Sefer Torah was not found • How did they read the Torah? And who was left disappointed?

The annual Shabbos get together in Shatz-Vizhnitz - held on Shabbos at the campus of Yeshiva 'Derech Hayashar', in Afula, led by the Rebbe, and with the Vizhnitzer singer - Rabbi Yitzchok Unger.
But a problem arose, which threatened to harm the peace of the special Shabbos – The key of the Aron Kodesh was lost on Friday night, and a reserve key was not available, in addition, there was no solution which allowed to bring a Sefer Torah from a nearby synagogue - because these were already closed.
In addition, the breaking of the Aron Kodesh was out of the question, because one cannot break a tool on Shabbos.
Who surprised everyone was one of those present – a Baal Teshuva who had prayed before at the Shatz-Vizhnitz Beit Midrash in Haifa, and lives in Givat Hamoreh in Afula - who came for Shabbos after hearing that the community he loved is coming for Shabbos, and he suggested that you can read in the Sefer Torah even when it is in the Aron Kodesh.
Since it is a barred Aron Kodesh, built like a window – the chassidim opened through the bars the coat of the Sefer Torah whilst standing, and read from the Torah.
Only the gabbaim were left disappointed after they missed the selling of the 'hotzaah and hachnasa' and 'hagbaha and gelila'.
