Kansas Children Add Names to Israel Torah Project
A Torah scroll contains 304,805 letters and can take months to complete.
Efforts to unite Jewish children throughout the world through the writing of a Torah scroll are taking on a uniquely local flavor in the State of Kansas, with day camps, preschools, Hebrew schools and day schools signing up students to sponsor letters in the fifth Children’s Torah Scroll to be commissioned since the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, launched the worldwide project in 1981.
