Script for a New Beginning

Wynnewood, PA — A new Torah scroll was completed recently for Chabad of Penn Wynne, with New York scribe Rabbi Gad Sebag in town to put the final letters on the document with the help of local residents. After the last letter was completed, the ink was allowed to dry before a procession took place, from the Kaiserman Branch of the Jewish Community Centers in Wynnewood to the ark at the Chabad House on the corner of Haverford Road and Indian Creek Drive. Women held candles and men danced in the street along the way until they arrived at their destination, where the scroll was welcomed, and participants shared in a festive breakfast.
