Museum’s Torah more than Display

by Shlomo Abraham

Brooklyn, NY – A procession of dancing people along Brooklyn’s Eastern Parkway behind a float and live music, a “chuppa” canopy with a brand new Torah scroll and children holding torches and flags is unusual on any day. The destination and final home of this particular scroll – the Jewish Children’s Museum – made it that much more notable.

Think “museum” and you imagine ancient relics secured behind bulletproof display cases. A museum would seem unfitting to house a brand new Torah. Then again, the Jewish Children’s Museum is not your average museum. For Mr. Serge Hoyda and his family, “there could be no better place to dedicate a new Torah.”
