A new Torah scroll, donated by Mrs. Henig in memory of her late husband, Rabbi Netta Henig, was dedicated in the "Beit Meir" synagogue in the Ramat Avraham neighborhood of Beit Shemesh. The ceremony took place during the Ten Days of Repentance.
Following years of writing the scroll, the completion was marked by a joyous procession. At the instruction of the Grand Rabbi of Belz, the scroll was brought to the "Beit Meir" synagogue, where Rabbi Moshe David Lerner, grandson of Rabbi Netta Henig, serves as the rabbinical judge. Rabbi Lerner is also the son-in-law of the late Rabbi Netta Henig.
The event gathered members of the local prayer group, neighborhood residents, and dozens of Rabbi Netta Henig's grandchildren from around the world, including England, the United States, and Canada. The final letters of the scroll were written at Rabbi Lerner's home, with the participation of Rabbi Avraham Drenfeld and other local rabbis.
The procession circled the entire neighborhood, accompanied by hundreds of children carrying torches and singing. Rabbi Hershel Weiss, the father-in-law of Rabbi Lerner, and other grandchildren of Rabbi Netta Henig were honored with carrying the Torah scroll and dancing with it. The celebration continued with extensive dancing inside the synagogue, followed by a gathering where Rabbi Moshe David Lerner and Rabbi Mendel Glitzky delivered remarks.
The scroll was donated by Mrs. Henig in memory of her husband, Rabbi Netta Henig, who passed away. The decision to dedicate the scroll to the "Beit Meir" synagogue was made by the Grand Rabbi of Belz.
