Congregation Anshei Israel’s MITZVAH 613 Sefer Torah Program The compilation of CAI’s new Sefer Torah is well underway, but we still need you! As the heart of our spiritual body, the Torah represents the common roots we share as a congregation, community and people. Together we can come together and make this Sefer Torah a portrait of our congregation – one that can be passed down, l’dor v’dor, for our children and future congregants to see what an impassioned community we are today. Please help us reach our goal of 100% involvement! Whether a book, your favorite verse, or a letter, let us write this Torah together. Todah rabah to those who have already joined us with their dedications:
