Dear Community Member and Friend,
It is with great excitement that Chabad of Danville & S. Ramon announces the writing of a Torah Scroll for our local community! (Until now we have been using a Torah on loan.)
The Torah is the holiest and most precious article in Jewish life, for thousands of years the Jewish people have studied the Torah and lived by its laws.
The very last Mitzvah in the Torah (#613) is to write a Torah Scroll. It is thus an honor and great Mitzvah to participate in the writing of a Torah Scroll. By endowing a letter, word, or sentence for yourself, your children, family members, or friends, it is as if you have written your own Torah Scroll and have fulfilled this great Mitzvah!
We invite you to join us in writing history by purchasing a letter or verse for each member of your family. You also have the option of dedicating various portions of the Torah, and to buy in honor or memory of a loved one.
Please join us for the Torah Commencement Ceremony on Sunday – August 15th at 4:30pm. Please RSVP here to let us know you are coming!
Each person will have the unique opportunity to help the scribe write the first letters in the Torah.
This event is for all ages. Please see here for more event information.

Rabbi Shmuli & Mushky Raitman
