Hachnosas Sefer Torah in Memory of Dovid Rieber

Rabbi and Mrs Rieber completing the Sefer Torah

Crown Heights, Brooklyn — Today, Sunday at 10:30 AM, the Hachnosas Sefer Torah in memory of Hatomim Chaim Dovid Shlomo Reiber AH, started the parents home on Empire Blvd, where the final letters were completed.

More pictures in the Extended Article.

The procession then left at about 12:30 PM from the families home, where thousands of residents of Crown Heights and Talmidim of Oholei Torah danced with the Torah as it was led up Kingston Ave to Oholei Torah where the Hakofos took place followed by a Seudas Mitzvah.

The Sefer was donated by the Riber family in memory of Hatomim Chaim Dovid Shlomo Reiber AH, who tragically passed away Chof Daled Eyar 5755, 17 days before his Bar-Mitzva.

    This was a real kiddush Hashem. It proved that when it comes to the Torah then everyone comes together “K’Ish Echod B’lev Echod”. Before Shavuos -Matan Torah- this event was a true demonstration of how much the Yidden love the Torah and for this they deserve the immediate Geulah Shleimah. A Yasher Koach to the Rieber family for bringing out the best of this community.
