Israeli singer Odeya Azulay, known as "Child of Faith," held a heartfelt ceremony on Thursday evening to dedicate a Torah scroll at her home in Rishon Lezion. She donated the scroll to the local synagogue, marking the event with a festive gathering that coincided with the beginning of the Jewish month of Elul, a time of mercy and forgiveness. Azulay personally carried the Torah during the ceremony, which she shared on social media under the hashtag "Elul."

The event was attended by family, close friends, and notable figures from the entertainment industry, including singer Ben Tzur and Sharon Adam, mother of singer Omer Adam, who is soon to be married. The highlight of the evening was the presence of Rabbi Yigal Cohen, a respected public figure, who honored the occasion by writing a letter in the new Torah scroll and delivering a warm blessing to Azulay and the attendees. Rabbi Cohen praised her for making a significant spiritual contribution, saying, "You are making a great Kiddush Hashem."

Azulay wore a festive white dress reminiscent of a bride on her wedding day, adding to the emotional atmosphere. Sharon Adam also expressed her affection and blessings for Azulay publicly via social media, calling her "beloved" and wishing blessings for her and her home. The ceremony underscored Azulay's commitment to her faith and community, celebrated by many close to her and the wider public.
