AARC’s Torah is old and much-loved. In fact, it seems to be over 200 years old. In recent years, it’s gotten a bit unstable; there are a number of tears in the scroll, and the stitching at the edges is coming unraveled. Hagba–the display of the Torah to the Congregation, after it is read–has gotten a little too exciting.
So we’re pleased to say that Rabbi Moshe Druin, of Sofer On Site, will be visiting us on Tuesday, March 29, to fix all the stitching/tears. He’ll work at the JCC, and you’re invited to come and watch. Kids and adults–come by at 2:30 or 3. Sofer on Site frequently does community events for Torah restorations.
Also, if you are able to be there for a bit and take some pictures, please let me know (email me at margo.schlanger@gmail.com).
