A new Torah scroll was dedicated at the central synagogue of the Ramah Daled Breslov Hasidic community in Beit Shemesh on Wednesday. The ceremony, attended by many members of the community and prominent rabbis, marked the culmination of a significant communal event.
The Torah scroll was donated by the Grunwald family in memory of Rabbi Menachem David, son of Rabbi Nathan Grunwald, who passed away. The writing of the final letters took place at the homes of prominent Breslov rabbis, including Rabbi Yaakov Meir Shachter and Rabbi Moshe Kremer, and at the home of Nachman Grunwald, where family, friends, and community leaders participated.
Following the completion of the scroll, participants, dressed in Shabbat attire, joined a celebratory procession. Accompanied by musical instruments and torches, the procession, led by the younger members of the community, made its way to the synagogue. Thousands of local residents joined the march, dancing and celebrating the Torah.
Upon arrival at the synagogue, located at the corner of Rav Amram and Rav Meri streets in Ramah Daled, the Torah scroll was brought inside with singing and joyous dancing. The ceremony concluded with prayers before the scroll was placed in the Holy Ark.
