I pressed the button for the “house mother” named Chava. There was no answer. I Rabbi kept pressing it, but there was Kimberly still no answer. Nobody was in Herzog Cohen sight, as most residents were home for Shabbat. To top it off, I didn’t yet have a phone to call someone, and I hardly spoke a word of Hebrew at that point. Panic.

EVENTS Saving a Legacy Temple Participates in Rededication of Czech Torah Scrolls.

Temple is participating in a local and international celebration of rededication of the Czech Memorial Torah Scrolls. A total of 1,564 scrolls, including those now at Bridwell Library at SMU and at Temple, were recovered in Prague after World War II. They were dedicated in 1964 and will be commemorated this month with a 50th anniversary Service of Rededication at Westminster Synagogue in London. Temple’s scroll, which hails from Klatovy in southwestern Czech Republic, was received by Temple in 1976. It is #726 and was written in 1880, according to the Czech Memorial Trust. It has distinctive curlicues in many of the letters that are known as a “kabbalistic font” believed to date back to the 17th century. Examples of the lettering and special verses are on display in the hallway outside the Jacobus Archives. Observances
