In honor of Tes and Yud Kislev, students of HaMesivta of United Lubavitcher Yeshiva Ocean Parkway davened with the Mitteler Rebbe’s Sefer Torah.
The Sefer Torah is used in a Shul in Flatbush, where the Yeshiva went to daven Shachris.
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 goes that two Jews who worked for the KGB snuck the Torah away and gave it to a family who smuggled it out of Russia.
The kibudim were sold to the bochurim to the highest bidder for hundreds of hours of extra learning, said Rabbi Moshe Lieblich, head of HaMesivta.
It doesn’t claim that the Mittle Rebbe actually wrote the sefer, it could be simply a sefer that was in his shul that he may have used. Therefore, the ksav would not be decisive!!
beautiful!
good thinging. which shul is it ?
hey dovi i hope you realize what kind of zchus you got mazal tov
It would be nice to see a close-up of the kesav. If the tradition of its origin is correct then perhaps we can learn something from the ksav.
