Our parents and teachers shared these stories when we were young, and as we get older, we hear these tales with different ears. The challenges of family, of sibling rivalry may appear one way when we are adolescents, and then take on a very different meaning as parents or grandparents. The power of an archetypal story is that it grows with us. But there is another RABBI MICHAEL S. story that we rarely think about. That is the story of the Torah scroll itself SIEGEL and how it made its way to find a home in a particular synagogue. Senior Rabbi, The Norman Asher Rabbinic Chair Each scroll has its own tale to tell of those whose generosity It was commissioned by Richard [email protected] provided a Torah to a community. Over the years, the stories Solomon more than a decade ago. of that Torah will compound as B’nai Mitzvah read from it, as I well remember the day when Richard spoke of his wish to have wedding couples are blessed before it and children are named a new Torah written for the congregation in honor of his son’s in its presence. These thoughts occurred to me after our upcoming Bar Mitzvah. As a renowned architect, Richard was congregation received an unexpected gift of a Torah. But more specific in his design. It was important to him that the Torah be about that later. small enough to be carried easily by a B’nai Mitzvah. There was Anshe Emet is blessed to have a number of Torahs, and each an additional reason that Richard wanted to create this Torah. He one has a story. Outside of the ark in the sanctuary are two had suffered a serious illness over the years, and told me that Sephardic-style Torahs. Unlike the Ashkenazic Torah, these are part of the reason that he wanted to dedicate a Torah was in housed in their own miniature ark. They are designed to be read gratitude for his recovery. I remember the day that we gathered standing up. On the outside of the one encased in silver, there in the sanctuary and Richard sat at a table set on the Bimah and is a beautiful dedication from when it was originally gifted to the finished the last letter of the Torah. He was absolutely beaming. synagogue. Unfortunately, we do not know which synagogue, or Sadly, Richard died not long after the Torah was dedicated, but where it was located; only that it traveled many miles to be in his son Ethan, now an adult, reads from that scroll quite regularly. our community. What we do know from the inscription is that No matter what story Ethan is reading at the time, I find myself the Torah was created in memory of a man by the name of Daniel thinking of the story about the Torah, a beautiful act of honoring Asis, who loved the study of Torah, in 1916. When I stand before a parent, and the love of a father for the tradition and his family. the ark, I openly stare at that Torah and admire the craftsmanship A few weeks ago, our congregation received its newest Torah. of that case, and wonder about that family. How proud they must Phil and Nancy Resnick, along with their children, Josh, Blake have been when that Torah was dedicated. How surprised they and Ashley, have recently made Anshe Emet their spiritual would be to know that Daniel Asis is still being remembered and home. A few weeks ago, Phil called to tell me that his family that the story of that Torah is still being written so far from its wanted to bring a new Torah to Anshe Emet. He explained that origin. when Ashley became a Bat Mitzvah, he and Nancy had a Torah There is another Torah in our ark that we read from regularly. See “Rabbi Siegel,” page 3
