1:00 PM - 3:00 PMTemple Tifereth IsraelJoin in for this meaningful gathering and joyful reunion of the scrolls in Ohio which includes BJC’s Holocaust scroll from Ledec. In 1942, Dr. Stein of the Jüdische Kiltusgemeinde in Prague, reached out to the over 350 synagogues in Bohemia and Moravia, instructing them to send their Sefrei Torot and other ritual objects to be collected in Prague. What resulted was over 1,800 scrolls being sent to Prague where they were warehoused and in 1963 brought to London to be restored, if possible, forming the Czech Scroll Memorial Trust (MST). In honor of the 80th anniversary of their collection, The Temple Tifereth Israel invites the community (and our MST scroll) to join with them in celebration. Each scroll will be called to the bimah by its community name, and a representative from each organization will read one line of Torah at this Torah Service in memory of the Jews from Czechoslovakia who perished, and in honor of those who survived. If you would like to attend and be part of BJC’s contingent, please contact Jay Ross by April 10.
