This past year KBY commissioned and completed the writing of a Torah Scroll based upon a gift from a donor.A?A?KBY granted the scroll to theA?A?the Conservative Congregation in Zichron Ya’akovA?last Simhat Torah.A? This of course wasA?as close as we may come to the “giving of the Torah”, clearly a highlight of the year.A?
The Torah Scroll was delivered with a hand full of letter incomplete.A? A ceremony was held to complete the writing of the scroll and a festive procession, through the streets of Zichron Ya’akov,A?to deliver it to the congregation.A?

The final letters were added to the scroll in the pictures below (Click on image for a larger view):

Note closely the image of the scroll.A? The letters toward the bottom are not as clear as thoseA?at the top.A?A?Several of the letters are incompleteA?in this picture.A? They were completed at aA?ceremony marking the completion of the scroll.A? Friends, family and congregants completedA?individual letters until the scroll was finished.A? They scroll was paraded through the streets of Zichron Ya’akov until it founds its new home atA?Kehillat v’Ahavta.A?
KBY is grateful to have participated in this project and is appreciative of our donors, David and Michael Fruchtman who along with the scroll contributed an Aron Kodesh, Rimonim (silver ornamentation),A?and scroll covers.
