"what object is carried around and has people touch it to kiss it and placed in an Ark at Jewish worship services"

That's true Hal, the Hebrew scrolls representing the Torah are kept in the "Ark" and paraded as idolatrous relic around the Synagogue. But it is purely as a symbolic jesture, but never to be read, studied and believed. The Babylonian Talmud--particularly the writings in the Gemara-is the defining book for modern Talmudic Judaism. According to the rabbis in the Talmud, studying the Torah is of no value, studying the Mishnah (the codification of the laws) is of little value, but studying the Gemarar (the commentaries of the rabbis) is of supreme value.

It is the Babylonian Talmud that defines modern Judaism today.
