Torah & Sacred Text Renewal

“Even as one fulfills a mitzvah by performing it simply, it is nonetheless proper to perform the mitzvah as beautifully as possible…” Talmud Bavli- Shabbat 133b:5-6

Over the years, our High Holy Day Torah Covers have been weathered by the passage of time, and it is now time to replace these cherished elements of our spiritual home. Our Torah Covers, adorned with intricate designs and meaningful symbols, are the vessels that carry the sacred words of our tradition. They wrap our Torah scrolls in dignity and beauty, creating a tangible link between our past, present, and future.

 

We are excited to announce that the following families have offered to donate the new covers in honour of their loved ones.

  • Barbara and Len Farber
  • Elissa Iny
  • Dan and Marilyn Kimmel
  • Steven and Shelli Kimmel
  • Michael and Melanie Polowin
  • Victor and Miriam Rabinovitch           
  • Joel Sachs and Olga Strelchenko, David Sachs and Megan McGrath, Adam Sachs and Margarita Sachs
  • Sol and Zelaine Shinder
  • Howie and Marie Levine, Barbara and David Spring

At the same time as we renew our Torah Mantles, many of our Siddurim and Chumashim after years of use, are in need of replacement and their quantity increased to account for the growing number of attendees at our many beautiful Simchas.

We are thrilled to share a special opportunity to sponsor the purchase of these Sacred Texts. Your generous donations will support the purchase of the new Siddurim, and Chumashim. Every contribution, regardless of size, will help achieve our goal. 

Your donation of Chumashim – $72 each or Siddurim – $54 each will include a dedication in honour or memory of a loved one or to celebrate a lifecycle event. The listing of the donor’s name(s) in an honour roll will also be posted on our website. 

Please visit our website at https://www.kehillatbethisrael.com/sacred-text-fundraiser/, to make your donation, or contact Jeremy Rosenberg at jeremy@kehillatbethisrael.com or call 613-728-3501 Ext. 225.
