A grand and joyous ceremony was held in Jerusalem to dedicate a specially written Torah scroll for the Zvhil Hasidic court. The scroll was donated by Rabbi Nathan Zev Grameza and his wife as a heartfelt gift to the Zvhil Rebbe. At the completion of the Torah letters, a large gathering of Hasidim, rebbes, rabbis, elders, and students from the Zvhil "Torat Shlomo" yeshiva participated, many of whom had the honor of writing letters in the scroll under the Rebbe's leadership.

Many yeshiva and kollelim students from Beitar Illit also wrote letters after being tested on their knowledge and receiving blessings ahead of the Elul period. Following the writing, a festive procession accompanied by a band, fire torches, and community singing paraded along Shmuel Hanavi Street, which was closed to traffic with police coordination, proceeding to the Beit Midrash at Yechizkel Junction.

Upon arrival, the celebration continued with sacred dances, and before placing the Torah in the ark, the Rebbe recited the customary psalms. The event concluded with a celebratory meal during which the Zvhil Rebbe delivered a holy address commemorating the occasion.
