Yesterday [Sunday] a dinner was held in honor of the Tzivos Hashem Organizations 25th anniversary, and the ceremony of the completion of a Sefer Torah written for the Shul in the museum and was donated by Dr. Esther Benenson “The mother of Tzivos Hashem”. The event was attended by board members and employees of the museum and family, as well as local politicians and our brass of the NYPD’s 71st Precinct.

The event opened up with the completion of the writing of the Sefer Torah, and the dancing with the torah out in the freezing cold around a few blocks. Then the crowd moved back into the museum for a beautiful and delicious buffet dinner with a variety of different food to choose from.

And for the last part of the event, there was a round of special presentations of their work here in the United States and abroad, specifically the USSR, from schools to shelters and orphanages. One of the entertainers was Bruce Adler a world famous singer and entertainer who brought back memories of his childhood and the radio station WEVD the only radio station in Yiddish! Another of the presentations was from the Friendship Circle where 2 special children made a brief speech thanking the organizers and counselors for their work and effort they put into the program and how much it means to them.

An extensive gallery is now online with 160 beautiful pictures of the event! Enjoy!

    very nice but shouldnt the community have been invited to the sium sefer torah at least?

  • using ch for their good

    nope at least thats how the staff of tzivos hashek think the ch community is way to low for them they are much higher for the avrage joe on the street thats why they stopped doing all the work they used to do instead spent all their money on the offices upstairs the only thing tzivos hashem does thgese days for the kids is from shimmy wienbaum which includes mostly frum lubavitch kids they gave up on everyone and all the work that they did years ago

  • Mailitz Tov!

    No, No, No, The Siyum Safer Torah was a public event, it was even advertised on this site, its just that it wasnt well publicized, i saw an ad for it in the jewish press.

    The dinner was also public but it was a fundraiser like event where you had to pay per couple, so thats why hardly any locals were there.

    You should go around saying such things when you dont know.

    Firstly who are YOU to judge, are you G-D!! And you must have given them a lot of money so you have a right to complain /criticize, such a beautiful intuition of the Rebbe, and maybe you get your facts right, and see what’s been accomplished on over 25 years (other organizations that started Mivtzah mezuzah/tefilon look where they are holding today… and TH has made one of the greatest Kidush Lubavitch in the world with its Jewish museum.

    I guess whenever someone does something right, there are always going to be a Menaged until Moshiach comes.

    Just think before you judge, oh and you can see their new website to see what’s been done in the past and present. Tzivoshashem.org.

    A friend of this beautiful organization called Tzivos Hashem

    ok ok i didnt mean to start this! i dont have any problems with tzivos hashem i think they do lots of great work (well ok maybe some small issues but nothing important) all i was asking about was the fact that nobody in the community was informed of this sium sefer torah, in 770 most minyanim said thachnun and the only reason i knew about this was i heared music on eastern parkway.
    and advertising on the TH site or the jewish press is not reaching out to the community.
