Bais Rivkah’s 1st grade class was privileged to see the way a holy Sefer Torah is written, in the Torah’s actual home – a Shul.
As an introduction to beginning to learn Chumash, the students took a trip to Bais Menachem Nochum, where they were greeted by the sofer, Rabbi Clapman. He demonstrated the many intricate details that are involved in writing a sefer torah. After the demonstration, the students were able to see and kiss the finished product, a real sefer Torah, from the aron kodesh of the shul.
When you go to shul on Simchas Torah dont they bring the Torah to the Womens side so you can kiss it?

I left it to the understanding of the reader.
could you make you question a little clearer??? as far as i can see, this experience is educational and interesting…i don’t see why it would be a problem?
Thank you for teaching both my daughter with such love and enthusiasm!!!
Question–seeking honest non-cynical response.
I think this is a beautiful idea, but what about the risks of confusion. I would venture to say, that once a girl becomes bas mitzvah, she’ll never get this close to a Torah again.
I’m not coming with a pro-reform argument, Chas V’Shalom, but simply asking from a chinuch perspective, what do you think?
this is so beautiful!!!!! it makes me so happy to see the younger generation experiencing torah in such a beautiful way. a big yashar koech to those involved
i grew up in beis rivkah and learned many things about the torah, but never got to actually see one up close until many, many years later. what a great idea!
DISHAAAAAAAA!!! quack
instead of being cynical realize that this was coordinated with Rabbi Clapman and I guess he works out of Bais Menachem Nochum.
GO GITTEL KARP!!!!!!!
GO MORAH BAYLIE!!!!!
hi cutie pie!
is that mushkah??????????????????????
What a perfect way for the young students to prepare for the
yom tov of matan Torah. You can see the twinkle in the girls eyes as they went up to touch and kiss the Holy Torah!
I wish more schools would have such a program.
What a lovely experience for our girls!
This is the ‘inreach’ which will keep the next generation strong be’ezras Hashem
beautiful!!!!!!!!
go rabbi clapman!
so beautiful
i guess the teachers wanted to make a trip out of it since they have a shul with a sefer torah on crown street. even if the girls were from lefferts they could of walked to 310 crown instead of another shul
