  • History of Our Holocaust Memorial Scroll, Second Sefer Torah, Mantles, Aron Kodesh and Ner Tamid, Yad and Rimonim
    July 5, 2020 BET MISHPACHAH Washington, D.C. History of our Holocaust Memorial Scroll, Second Sefer Torah, Mantles, Aron Kodesh and Ner Tamid, Yad and Rimonim Memorial Scroll. In 1979, Bet Mishpachah president Michael Greenwald arranged for us to acquire our first Sefer Torah: a Torah scroll originally from the Czech town of Dolni Kounice. It is a fragile Holocaust Memorial Scroll placed on permanent loan to Bet Mishpachah by the Westminster Synagogue in Knightsbridge, London. In 1964, Westminster Synagogue acquired 1,564 rescued Czech Torah scrolls; since then they have generously placed 1,400 of them in synagogues around the world. Placement and coordination of these scrolls is handled by the Memorial Scrolls Trust of London (www.memorialscrollstrust.org). In late 1979, still bearing a catalogue number painted on the handle of one of the wooden rollers (akin to the numbers the Nazis tattooed on their prisoners), Memorial Scroll #703 found a new and loving home with Bet Mishpachah. Dolni Kounice. Dolni Kounice is a small town in Moravia, which became part of Czechoslovakia and is now part of the Czech Republic. The Jewish community in Dolni Kounice began in the 14th century. Over the years, they faced many perils, including the destruction of their synagogue, laws limiting the number of Jews allowed to live there, a fire in the 1830s, a devastating flood in 1862, and finally the forced deportation of the town’s entire Jewish community to the Auschwitz death camp. The only survivor was our Torah scroll. Jerry Goldberg (president of Bet Mishpachah in 1980) and his brother Myron visited Dolni Kounice in 1985; they found the boarded-up synagogue and were shown the Jewish cemetery.

  • How Is a Torah Made?
    How is a Torah made? By Rabbi Amy R. Scheineman The scribe prepares parchment sheets While printed editions of the Torah abound, in both Hebrew and English translation, and with many different commentaries, when the Torah is read in the synagogue on Shabbat and holidays, it is read from a hand-written scroll, called a Sefer Torah, in keeping with age-old tradition. It takes several months, and often as a long as a year to complete one Sefer Torah. The Sefer Torah is written by a scribe, special trained for this holy task, on sheets of parchment. The parchment must derive from a kosher animal, usually a cow, and is meticulously prepared by the scribe, who first soaks the skin in lime water to remove hairs, and then stretches the skin over a wooden frame to dry. The scribe scrapes the skin while it is stretched over the wooden frame to remove more hair and smooths the surface of the skin in preparation for writing on it with the use of a sanding machine. When the skin is dry, the scribe cuts it into a rectangle. The scribe must prepare many such skins because a Sefer Torah usually contains 248 columns, and one rectangle of parchment yields space for three or four columns. Thus a Sefer Torah may require at more than 80 skins in all. When the parchment sheets are ready, the scribe marks out lines and columns using a stylus, which makes a mark in the skin that has no color, much as if you ran your fingernail across a sheet of paper.

  • Three Sifrei Torah This Shabbath! Message by Rabbi Yamin Levy, LIHA Rabbi
    Sharyn Blaustein Volume 21 Principal Issue 22 March 20, 2015 Adar 29, 5775 Rabbi Yamin Levy LIHA Rabbi THE VOICE OF OUR CHILDREN A WEEKLY PUBLICATION Please visit our website www.lihagn.org for the FULL newsletter in color! Three Sifrei Torah This Shabbath! Message by Rabbi Yamin Levy, LIHA Rabbi Shabbath is always special and every time we take a Sefer Torah out of the ark it is beautiful experience. This coming Shabbath, my dear friends, is especially unique because we will be taking three Sefarim out of the Aaron Kodesh. The first is for the weekly Torah reading, the second is for Rosh Hodesh Nissan and the third is for Shabbath HaChodesh. These kinds of Shabbath experiences occur only once every few years – enjoy it and may our prayers be set before Hashem like the Korbanot, sacrifices, described in this week’s Perasha. There is so much going on in our community at every level. I am continually inspired by the commitment and generosity of so many in our midst. The Perasha this week is called Vayikra and deals with the various prescriptions for the Sacrifices brought in the Bet HaMikdash. In the olden days children began their Torah study with this Perasha for two reasons. The Midrash writes: “Little children are pure and sacrifices are pure; so let those who are pure study that which is pure.” The second reason is because our teachers of old wanted to impress upon our young minds that sacrifice is at the center of our lives. Nothing worthwhile in life is achieved without sacrifice.

  • Non-Jews Opening the Ark Rabbi David Booth
    Non Jews Opening the Ark - Rabbi David Booth Draft Copy Not for Distribution Non-Jews Opening the Ark Rabbi David Booth Approved by the CJLS on October 15, 2013 by a vote of 8 in favor, 12 opposed and 4 abstaining. In favor: Rabbis Kassel Abelson, Aaron Alexander, David Booth, Elliot Dorff, Jeremy Kalmanofsky, Daniel Nevins, Loel Weiss and Steven Wernick. Opposed: Pamela Barmash, Miriam Berkowitz, Reuven Hammer, Joshua Heller, David Hoffman, Jane Kanarek, Adam Kligfeld, Gail Labovitz, Amy Levin, Paul Plotkin, Avram Reisner, and Barry Starr. Abstaining: Baruch Frydman-Kohl, Susan Grossman, Jonathan Lubliner, Elie Spitz Question: May the ritual opening of the holy ark during worship be performed by non- Jews? Response Introduction Answering the question requires several steps. Given the relative absence of direct comment on this issue in either medieval or modern responsa literature, a case must be developed from similar issues that are addressed. Further, the issue itself is relatively recent. Few non-Jews sought such an honor until relatively recently. The integration of the Jewish community into the wider American context has raised for many congregations a variety of questions around the status of non-Jews that received little attention prior to the modern era. This teshuvah will first address the question of qualifications to touch a Torah scroll as a means of exploring what requirements might exist in the related and possibly more lenient case of opening the ark. Second, the teshuvah will explore the opening of the ark on its own terms in medieval and modern sources to identify whether or not it can be spoken of separately from removing the Torah.

  • Simchas Torah & a Lost Minhag of the Gra,Kol Nidrei
    Simchas Torah & a Lost Minhag of the Gra Simchas Torah & a Lost Minhag of the Gra By Eliezer Brodt Chol HaMoed Succos is the Yarzheit of the Vilna Gaon (for an earlier post on the Gra see here and here). In this post I hope to show a source for a “forgotten” Minhag of the Gra. In 1921 the great bibliographer (and much more) Yitzchak Rivkind described a strange custom he saw during the time he learned in Volozhin (after it was reopened and headed by R’ Rephael Shapiro), in an article about Minhag HaGra. On Simchas Torah they would open the Aron Kodesh when saying Aleinu, both at night and during the day, and while singing the Niggun of Mussaf of Yom Kippur would bow on the floor exactly like we do on Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur. When he asked for the source of this Minhag he was told it comes from the Gra. When he visited Vilna sometime later he found the only place that they observed this unique Minhag was in the Kloiz of the Gra, but nowhere else in Vilna.[1] In 1933 R’ Meir Bar Ilan printed his memoirs in Yiddish for the first time (in book form); in it he describes the great Simcha in Volozhin on Simchas Torah, that of his father the Netziv and of the Talmidim. He then writes that when they got to Aleinu they would open the Aron and with Niggun of Mussaf of Yom Kippur would sing and bow on the floor exactly like we do on Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur.[2] However, this custom is not mentioned in the Maaseh Rav or any of the other collections of Minhagim of the Gra.
