Please join us in writing a new community Sefer Torah in memory of Altie’s father, Reb Eliyahu Green ר' אליהו ב"ר אברהם אהרן ע"ה whose 26th yahrzeit we commemorate on Friday, April 17, the 23 of Nisan, Isru Chag Pesach.
On this occasion we are launching a special 23-hour campaign!
The goal is for every single person to write a letter in the Sefer Torah!
In order to ensure that every person can participate, we are asking for $2 per letter, however, donations in any amount are appreciated.
Please purchase a letter(s) on Friday, 23 Nisan, even if you have already purchased a letter in the past and include each member of your family.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have already contributed in any amount. Heartfelt thanks to our pillars, Luba and Igor Joffe, Michal Ostrynski, Tuvia and Danielle Kimmel, and all who are supporting the Sefer Torah on a upper tier level. If you wish to dedicate a Parsha or a Chumash or any questions about a dedication, please contact us. We are writing this Torah in memory of Altie’s father. But we cannot do it alone. We need everyone’s help and participation to make it happen.
May Hashem reward us all for this great mitzvah by sending Moshiach; a time when the entire world will be at peace and we will be reunited with our loved ones.
Rabbi Mendy and Altie Kasowitz
The Torah will be written and dedicated by our wonderful community and completed, G‑d willing, on Chanukah at the 5 year Grand Anniversary Celebration of our beautiful building.
The very last mitzvah in the Torah is to write a Torah scroll. Through purchasing a part in a Torah it is as though you have written your own Torah and fulfilled this obligation.
Chabad of West Orange offers YOU the opportunity to be a part of this Community Torah.
Donors of $540 +, will have the opportunity to inscribe one of the final letters of the Torah at the Conclusion Celebration.
YES! I WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS GREAT MITZVAH!
