Partnership Sefer Torah
Gala Hachnasas Sefer Torah
THIS SUNDAY!
Celebrate our partnership in
perpetuating our Torah heritage.

As part of the Kollel's Partnership Sefer Torah celebration, we will have the famous Sefer Torah Truck accompany our procession with amplified music as the men dance the Torah through the streets.  There is something planned for men, women and children.
Upon arrival at the Kollel, all will be able to witness the completion of the last letters of the Torah in the Kollel's Beis Medrash. Following, adults will enjoy a special address by Horav Uren Reich shlita and children (ages 6 and up) will be treated to a special presentation on the Kollel's lower level featuring the renowned storyteller, Rabbi Mayer Erps.
Please see below for the schedule of events.
