We are welcoming our community’s secondTorah Scroll. A special Torah that is more than 200 years old and is being restored and dedicated to our community
What’s a Torah?
The Torah is our north star, a clocktower to guide us towards a meaningful and fulfilling life. It contains our history, traditions, and timeless messages. It is the centerpiece of a Jewish Community. It is handwritten in Hebrew on parchment and takes about a year to complete.
What will happen at the celebration?
We will have music, food, drinks lots of festivities, entertainment for the children, and you can even have the scribe write a letter for you. We will escort the Torah, amidst music and joy.
Where will the Celebration be?
The location will be an indoor/outdoor location in the Kesselman home and backyard tent. For security purposes, the exact address will be given upon RSVP.
Who is it for?
Everyone! Adults, children, teens and everyone in between. Whether you have been at every Chabad event, or this will be your first, we'd love to celebrate with you, and are sure that you'll enjoy it!
When will this take place?
Sunday afternoon, August 22, 2021, from 4pm - 6pm.
How can I be a part?
Come! We’d be honored to have you join us to mark these momentous occasions. The best way to welcome a Community Torah is to have the entire community! The event is free and open to the whole community. There’s another way as well…
How else?
Well as a Community Torah, we are giving everyone the opportunity to dedicate a part of the Torah. From a letter, to a verse, to one of the Five Books of Moses. The main thing is to be a part. You are then a community partner in the writing of the Torah, which is a big Mitzvah!
What should I choose?
That’s a great question! Every part of the Torah is packed with meaning and significance. Think about what part of the Torah you feel most connected to. It can relate to a topic, a time of the year, or a letter of your name. If you would like some help to find the perfect fit, reach out to Rabbi Mendy or Mushkie and they will be happy to discuss it with you.
