Torah Dedication

THE TORAH

The Torah is the most sacred religious article in Jewish life. It is perfectly intact just as we received it some 3,300 years ago. It forms a timeless connection to the past and is the key to a Jewish future. It evokes something special in our hearts, as it represents the unbroken chain of Jewish tradition and survival.

The Torah scroll is hand-written by a Sofer, a scribe, on parchment, a detailed process that can take over a year to complete. Everything from the character of the scribe to the quality of the parchment and type of ink are carefully prescribed. The shape and size of each of the 304,808 letters, as well as the spacing of the lines and empty space, must be perfectly done by hand.

When a new Torah is welcomed into a community it is a tremendous honor and blessing to the community and to the souls of those in whose memory the Torah is dedicated.

ONE TORAH, ONE PEOPLE

The Torah’s 613th mitzvah/commandment is for each of us to write a Torah scroll. This mitzvah can be observed by commissioning the writing of at least part of the Torah scroll. By dedicating a letter, word, verse or chapter in the Torah for yourself, your family members or friends, or in memory of departed loved ones, it is considered as if you have written your very own Torah scroll.

AM YISROEL CHAI TORAH

Our beautiful new Torah has been written after Oct 7, The Scribe wrote it in Israel, mostly near Kibbutz Be’eri. The Scribe also took the Torah from army base to army base around Israel to give our brave Israeli soldiers the opportunity to have the Mitzvah of writing a letter in the Torah. We are so honored to welcome this special Torah into our Chabad of Stockton Synagogue.

Chabad of Stockton offers you the opportunity to be a part of this special Torah. Please consider joining in this great mitzvah!
