Help Temple Emanuel Restore the Holocaust Memorial Torah Scroll #1178



 

Holocaust Memorial Scroll #1178 was written in 1880 and comes from Horazdovice, one of the Czech Torah scrolls that survived the Holocaust. It was the first scroll of Temple Emanuel, placed in our care in 1967 and used continually until it was retired in 2007. A recent inspection by the skilled scribe indicated that the scroll can be restored! On Sunday, November 24 the Torah scribe began the process of restoration. As we restore this sacred scroll together, we will make every effort not just to honor its long, and at times painful history, but to also remember the joy of community that wrote it, and the joy of our community that has used it over the last 50 years. This year we plan to use this Torah scroll again during the High Holy Days, with all its symbolism, and all its history. This year it will be kosher. THIS is how we keep Judaism alive. Help us make this dream a reality!
