Zilber¬ man, chairman; M. M. Levison," Arthur Goldberg, Jacob Krakowitz, Joseph L. Schwartz, Morris Skilken, Louis Thall, and Max Araiioff. ^ //j9g presentation of^'Scfcr Torah", or, a Scroll of the Lawto the, synagogue is one of the finest and most inspiring Jew¬ ish religious ceremonies. The Rabbis count among the mandatory precepts in¬ cumbent upon an Israelite the obligation to write a "Sefer Torah." The King of Israel was required to keep a copy of the Scroll of the Law near his throne and carry it into battle. Everyone who passes a Scroll of the Law must kiss the mantle.
he unusual care taken in writing a "Sefer Torah" and th6 costly accessories
that go with it arc all evidence of the reverence and importance with which thc Scroll of thc Law is regarded.
While ancient Oriental communitifes possess Scrolls of the Prophets irt ad¬ dition to the Scroll ot the Law, Eiiro¬ pean Synagogues have, since the Middle Ages, provided themselves only with Torah Scrolls, sometimes also Scroll; of the Book of Esther
Scrolls of the Prophiits v«-ittcn in the same style and form as the Torah are very rare, especially in American Syna¬ gogue*. The Agudath Achim Synagogue will be olie oi the very few Syna¬ gogues in the world to t>(>s9css such a valuable treasure as the Scrolls of the Prophets which will be presented on March lltb,
This set of Prophets belong to Mr. and Mrs. Sam Byalos of this city. They have donated it to the Synagogue. The presentation of these Scrolls will mark one of the finest episodes in the his¬ tory of the Agudath Achim Congrega¬ tion. Every Jewish man and woman is invited to attend the ceremony. Special services and special musical program for the occasion are heing arranged by Rabbi Isaac Wcrne and Cantor Friedman,
