Kauai's New Torah
With Gratitude to Hashem, we have recently been able to purchase a new Torah Scroll for Kauai.
This was made possible through donations, large and small, from local members of our island community, tourists and dear friends.
Our Torah, having been used in communities in Israel (and before that in Eastern Europe), underwent a restoration of several months by quality scribes in Ashdod, Israel.
The Launch was on the eve of Tu B'Av (the 15th of Menachem Av), in the summer of 5770 (2010). It was the highlight of the First Annual Kauai Jewish Festival.
"Shares" were made available for the public in order to participate in this project/purchase as partners.
The Torah completion and Inauguration Ceremony took place at the exquisite Papa'a Bay Ranch, courtesy of the new Jewish owners, may they be blessed.
Our heartfelt thanks to all those who supported this great Mitzvah and made it possible.
May we merit to learn Torah on Kauai, read from the Torah every Shabbat, Festival (and more), and dance with the Torah every Simchat Torah!
MazelTov!
