Kenosha Temple Loses Torah to Thievery

CBS 58

KENOSHA, WI — The pain of the face Rabbi Tzali Wilshanski is clear.

Someone broke into the Bani Zedek Chabad Synagogue and stole two sacred torah scrolls and a laptop computer.

The scrolls are valued at $50,000. But their loss in spiritual terms goes far beyond that.

The Kenosha Police Department tells CBS 58 that the FBI is investigating a similar burglary in Minnesota. They can’t say for sure if the two crimes are linked.

    Rabbi W. We feel for you! Hashem should give you a Sach Hatzlacha and your Torahs should be returned to you in perfect condition right away!
    Support Chabad of Kenosha!!!!

    It is very important to publicize the theft, however it may encourage others if you publicly show where in the shul the torahs are kept on TV and publicly say it’s value
