  • “Safra Veseyfa”*
    Program name: “Safra Veseyfa”* Submitted by The Institute for Jewish Studies (Derech AMI) In Honor of Lt. Col. Emmanuel Moreno, z”l *”Safra Veseyfa” is a combination of words in Aramaic. Safra is “teacher, writer, man of the book” and Seyfa is “one who steals the way ahead”. The combination implies the author of a way ahead that was not previously seen as possible. A. Program description The “Safra Veseyfa” project is a special project in honor of Lt. Col. Emmanuel Moreno which assists IDF (Israel Defense Forces) combat units by re-instating Torah Scrolls that have been deemed unfit or invalidated by halacha (Jewish law) to units and army bases in which they are needed. The project offers a combined contribution to the Israel Defense Forces together with support for the Institute for Jewish Studies in honor of Lt. Col. Emmanuel Moreno, a fighter and commander of the elite Sayeret Matkal who fell in combat towards the end of the Second Lebanon War in enemy territory and whose image has not been de-classified for publication. The sponsors of the project will enjoy a dedication of a Torah Scroll in their name to the army unit, at an honorary ceremony in the presence of the IDF Chief Rabbi, unit commanders, soldiers, rabbis of the Institute and family members of the donor. B. The need The Israel Defense Forces is a strong and professional army equipped with some of the most advanced artillery and weapons systems for sea, air and ground combat in the world. What distinguishes the IDF from other armies in the world is a Torah Scroll on each base, a Torah Scroll that strengthens their fighting spirit and reminds them about what they are fighting for.
