JEM has released a beautiful new photo collection received from Rabbi Chaim Baruch Halberstam, featuring never-seen-before pictures taken by Shmuel Rivkin.
The collection of 9 Shevat – Completion of the Torah and Maamar walks viewers through the historic completion ceremony for the “Torah Scroll to Greet Moshiach.”
The gallery has been scanned, restored and published in connection with JEM’s latest video, highlighting the story of the Torah Scroll for Moshiach.
As part of JEM’s Living Archive project, the photos have been meticulously scanned and restored, and are now available for viewing at TheLivingArchive.org. The photos were taken during the completion ceremony on the 9th of Shevat in 5730 – 1970, and the Farbrengen and Kos Shel Bracha that took place the following night.
