Writing the Beginning: On Sunday afternoon, we will begin writing our new sefer Torah together. We will open by hearing about this project, its significance, and the Adlers (z’’l), in whose memory we are commissioning this scroll. Beginning with the children of our community, each of our members will be invited to come to the Torah table and assist Soferet Rabbi Bec Richman in scribing the opening words of the Torah. This program is open to the broader community; however, writing is reserved exclusively for members of Beth El –The Heights Synagogue. Everyone will be invited to write short hopes for this project on note cards that will be hung together on a large board. Our writing and reflecting will take place to the sounds of niggunim (wordless melodies) led by Rabbi Micah Shapiro, and we will close by joining all together in song. Please join us for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to write and witness the beginning of a new Sefer Torah.
