The Journey of a Simchas Torah Flag

by David Geffen – Jerusalem Post

Simchas Torah by Shoshannah Brombacher, 2008.

Colonel Jack Wolfson was a career Jewish soldier in the American army who had served for over 30 years. He was my commanding officer when I arrived to be the chaplain at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in 1965. Even though there was not much time before the holidays when we arrived, I was determined to make Simhat Torah, which was on a Saturday night and Sunday, a really thrilling experience. We had only one Torah scroll, but I was sure that we could get flags. Not as easy as I thought.
