It’s the 50th Anniversary of our Holocaust Memorial Trust Scroll

Congregation Beth Israel’s Holocaust Memorial Trust Scroll has been in our care for fifty years. Brought to our community through efforts of Judge Gus J. Solomon and his wife, Elizabeth W. (Libby) Solomon, this is the Torah from which all CBI students read on their Bar or Bat Mitzvah. In honor of this significant landmark, our community has committed to having it, along with the rest of our Torah scrolls, meticulously restored by an expert sofer (Torah scribe). The entire CBI community will have the opportunity to engage with the restoration through educational and experiential programming in the coming months; please make sure you are signed up to receive Beneath Our Dome, CBI’s weekly email, for updates on this meaningful endeavor.
