Torah Repair Project

Temple Beth Shalom is undertaking a major project to restore our Sefri Torah (Torah Scrolls). We have 12, and as of the beginning of the project in June of 2008, 4 were usable, but 3 of those would benefit from repair/restoration work. Of the other 8, 5 needed major repairs, and 3 were unfortunately, not repairable. Additionally various Torah dressings, etc. needed repair or replacement. Most of this work remains to be done. Please visit our Torah repair page to learn more or make a donation.
