OUR HERITAGE
The Torah is the most precious article in Jewish life. All our communal prayers are offered in its presence. It is perfectly intact, just as we received it at Mt. Sinai over 3,300 years ago. According to Jewish tradition, Moshe Rabbeinu - Moses wrote thirteen Torah scrolls. He placed one with the tablets in the Holy Ark, and presented a scroll to each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
From these scrolls additional copies were transcribed in exacting detail, precisely as prescribed by G‑d. Thus the chain of Torah remains unbroken from the time it was given to us at Mount Sinai. Despite thousands of years of upheaval and displacement, each of the Torah scroll’s 304,805 letters remains remarkably unchanged from the day it was first recorded by Moshe.
ONE TORAH, ONE PEOPLE
Our sages taught that there is a letter in the Torah corresponding to each and every Jewish soul. Just as each letter of the Torah scroll is essential to its integrity - its absence invalidating the entire scroll - so too each and every Jewish person is of paramount significance. Like the letters in the Torah, every Jew embodies an integral and inseparable part of the Jewish people. In this way the Torah scroll represents the highest expression of Jewish unity.
AN UNCOMMON MITZVAH
Of all the Torah’s 613 Mitzvot - Commandments the 613th Mitzvah is for each of us to write a Torah scroll. Minimally, this extraordinary Mitzvah can be observed by commissioning the writing of at least a portion of the Torah scroll. By dedicating a letter, a word, a verse or a chapter in the Torah for yourself and your family members and friends, it is considered as if you have written your very own Torah scroll.
