A moving ceremony marking the inauguration of a new Torah scroll took place at the secondary yeshiva in Southern Hebron last weekend. The event was attended by students, their parents, and the educational staff. The Torah scroll was donated by businessman Priyal Attias, CEO of Airport City, and was dedicated in his honor, in honor of his mother, and for the souls of his father, Yaakov Attias, his wife's parents Yaakov and Margalit Bak, and his friend Eitan Tzvi Arbel. The day began with a joint study session for fathers and sons in the study hall, followed by participants writing the final letters of the Torah scroll alongside a scribe. Afterward, a festive procession with singing and dancing accompanied the new scroll to its place in the yeshiva's sanctuary. Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Yair Rosenberg stated, "We are very excited and pray to be worthy of this Torah scroll. Beyond being the first Torah scroll to serve the yeshiva students, it symbolizes the deep connection between the sacred and the world of action and adding good in the world, the connection through which great Torah leads to action. This is the connection by which we educate our students and guide our work."
