On Sunday night, 25 Cheshvan, immediately after the Gala Banquet of the International Kinus Hashluchim, Shluchim will participate in the completion of the 11th Unity Sefer Torah, written at the Rebbe’s instruction for the unity of the Jewish people.
The celebration will be held on Eastern Parkway in front of 770, accompanied by a grand orchestra and renowned singers.
The previous 10th Unity Torah was completed during the war in Israel’s southern towns and in Ofakim. Since then, thousands of soldiers, families of hostages, and Jews from around the world have signed up to be part of the new Sefer Torah.
Among those who helped register participants for the 11th Torah were many Shluchim and activists, led by the Chabad representatives at JFK Airport who invested tremendous effort into the campaign.
The final letters of the Torah will be written at the Oholei Torah hall, followed by a lively parade of neighborhood children and children of Shluchim heading toward 770 for the grand outdoor celebration on Eastern Parkway. The event will conclude with joyous dancing and the Torah’s procession into Beis Rabbeinu Shebebavel.
The organizing committee reminded participants of the Rebbe’s directive regarding the first Unity Torah that the completion should take place in a location with the greatest possible gathering of people, and of the Rebbe’s emphasis on the importance of taking part in these historic Sefer Torah dedications.
I’m soooo looking forward to join.
