Students of HaMesivta – Tomchei Temimim of Canarsie got to daven with a Sefer Torah that belonged to the Mitteler Rebbe.
The Sefer Torah is used in a Shul in Flatbush, where the Yeshiva went to daven Shachris.
The occasion last week was to mark Kislev 9, both the birthday and yartzeit of Rabbi DovBer of Lubavitch, second Chabad Rebbe, and his day of liberation from Czarist prison on Kislev 10.
Members of the shul related that the Sefer Torah was handed down for many generations but was eventually confiscated by the KGB in communist Russia.
The story is told that two Jews who worked for the KGB smuggled the Torah away and gave it to a family who smuggled it out of Russia.
