Keren Hachomesh Invites The Community For A Siyum Sefer Torah

Keren Hachomesh invites you to join in the completion of the historic Torah commissioned for the Rebbe and Rebbetzin’s home at 1304 President Street. In 1988, following the passing of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, space in the Rebbe’s home was converted into a synagogue, where the Rebbe led prayer services three times a day for a year. Today, thousands visit each year to pray at this sacred place.

The Torah scroll was commissioned in honor of the Rebbetzin, and will be permanently housed in the Rebbe’s home. The project benefits Keren Hachomesh, the charitable foundation established by the Rebbe in memory of the Rebbetzin shortly after her passing.

The Siyum—dedication ceremony—will take place on Sunday, 29 Sivan (June 14). The final letters of the Torah will be written beginning at 12:00 PM in the courtyard of Chabad Lubavitch Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway.

Following the completion of the Torah, a festive procession will depart at 1:00 PM. Participants will accompany the Sefer Torah from 770, proceeding west on Eastern Parkway, south on Brooklyn Avenue, and then west on President Street to the Rebbe and Rebbetzin’s house.

At 1:45 PM, dancing with the Torah will take place at the Rebbe and Rebbetzin’s house, marking the culmination of this special project and the dedication of the Torah to its permanent home.

Throughout the Siyum, refreshments will be available in a tent placed outside the Rebbe and Rebbetzin’s house for the occasion, allowing participants and guests to celebrate together in a warm and festive atmosphere.

Dedications in this unique and historic Torah are available — everything from purchasing one letter to dedicating a section of the Torah scroll. To purchase a letter in the Torah or to make a dedication, visit Torah1304.com.
