New Sefer Torah Dedicated to Jewish Community of Dnipro

A new Sefer Torah was completed and dedicated to the Jewish Community of Dnipro in a moving ceremony held at the “Levi Yitzchak” Synagogue, bringing together community members, rabbonim, philanthropists, and guests for an evening of Torah, joy, and unity.

The Sefer Torah was gifted to the Jewish Community of Dnipro by Beit Chabad Levi Yitzchak, founded by Levi and Sara Sharinov together with their children, Michael and Rina.

During the ceremony, honored guests were given the opportunity to inscribe letters in the Sefer Torah, with the assistance of the sofer of the National Center of Sofrut of Ukraine, Reb Levi Averbuch.

The final letters of the Torah were completed by Rabbi Yisroel Aryeh-Leib Gurevich of the “Levi Yitzchak” Synagogue; Chief Rabbi of Dnipro, Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki; philanthropists and founders of Beit Chabad Levi Yitzchak, Levi and Mikhoel Sharinov; Yitzchak and Alexander Dveris; and Reb Natan Zolotarevsky.

As a special expression of gratitude, Rabbi Kaminezki also inscribed a letter in honor of Alexander Petrovsky, president of the International Foundation “Solidarity,” and his family.

Following the completion of the writing, the Sefer Torah was raised in accordance with tradition and dressed in an embroidered mantle. The celebration then continued with a procession beneath a chuppah in the courtyard of the “Millennium” factory, on whose grounds the synagogue is located.

The festivities culminated with joyous hakafos, as community members danced with the newly completed Sefer Torah, celebrating the gift of Torah and the unity of the Jewish community in Dnipro.

The event served as a fitting expression of the joy of Torah, bringing the community together in a celebration of Jewish life and continuity.
