Chabad of Clark County Dedicates the Clark County Torah
One year ago at the Chabad Jewish Center in Vancouver Washington, the first lines of a new Torah scroll were written. Now, one year later, this scroll is nearly complete. Chabad of Clark County invites the entire community to welcome its new Torah which arrives from Israel and will be dedicated on Sunday, June 14, 2009 at 2 PM. Parking is at the Chabad Jewish Center at 9604 NE 126th Ave., in Vancouver, WA and attendees will be transported by shuttle to building 11 in the Eastridge Business park.
Participants will witness the inscription of the final words and by doing so, they will fulfill the 613th Commandment of the Torah - to write a Torah scroll. According to the Rebbe, “A new Torah scroll brings about new blessings for the entire community.” This Torah, which is the very fabric that holds the Jewish people together, is written in memory of Rabbi Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg of Mumbai, India.
Following the final inscription, the Torah will be lead in a lively, parade-like procession under a chuppah – similar to the bridal canopy that is a central tradition at Jewish weddings. Like a bride and groom, the Torah will be treated with honor and joy. The old scroll will be taken out to greet the new Torah upon arrival at its new home in the Chabad Jewish Center. Afterwards, guests will enjoy an elaborate hors d’oeuvers and dessert buffet. Live music and children’s entertainment will be provided. For more information about this event and for remaining dedication opportunities, contact Chabad at 360-993-5222 or send an email to info@chabadclarkcounty.com
