The Torah is the most precious article in Jewish life, part of an unbroken chain that began some 3,300 years ago.  At a time when security and peace are foremost on our minds, we can derive comfort from the permanence of the Torah

Despite years of upheaval and suffering, not one of the Torah’s 304,805 letters has ever been changed.  The words we read in the synagogue today are exactly as they were prescribed by G-d and transcribed by Moshe.

Our sages taught that a letter in the Torah corresponds to the soul and spiritual identity of each and every Jew.  Just as each letter is an essential and integral part of K’lal Yisrael, the Jewish people.  According to tradition, this unity holds the key to a safer, better world. 

Now, you can fulfill the mitzvah of writing a Torah scroll and unite with Jews from every background by endowing a letter, word or sentence in the Sefer Torah that Chabad of Pittsburgh will be dedicating thanks to the generosity of Mrs. Joan Lois  Berlow-Smith.  When the Torah is almost complete, a dedication ceremony will be held in a joyful celebration at the Chabad House.  We will all participate as the scribe, pious and skilled in his field, transcribes the letters of the Torah’s final verse, finishing our Torah, the latest link in an eternal, holy chain.
