A new Torah is being completed in honor of R’ Levi Yitzchok Schneerson, the Rebbe‘s father, on his Yartzeit Chof Av.
The Torah is being sponsored by Mr. Mordy Hecht, a resident of Crown Heights and a local activist.
The Torah, which is nearly complete, had letters inscribed at the Hecht home in Crown Heights on Monday, ahead of the Yartzeit on Chof Av.
The Rebbe’s secretary, Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, Rabbi Shmaya Krinsky of Machne Israel and Rabbi Moshe Pinson, Founder of Bais Shmuel Chabad were on hand for the writing.
The Torah will accompany the group of Chassidim who will be traveling by private charter plane to Alma Ata, Kazakhstan, to mark the yartzeit at the holy gravesite of R’ Levi Yitzchok.
Additional letters will be inscribed in the Torah during the 24 hours trip, amid great celebration. The Torah will be completed at the Rebbe’s Ohel on Chof Av as the trip returns to New York.
Limited seats remain for the inspiring and uplifting trip to the holy gravesite. A private flight will depart from JFK Airport in New York on Monday, August 15th, 18 Av, at approximately 6:00 p.m. and will return Wednesday, August 17th, Chof Av, at 6:00 PM in time for participants to be able to mark the day of Chof Av both in Almaty and at the Rebbe’s Ohel in New York.
The private charter flight has only Coach seating left at $3,000 per person.
