Writing Our Future: A Sefer Torah for Kehilat Nitzan
Kehilat Nitzan has launched a fundraising drive to bring a new Sefer Torah into our Holy Sanctuary.
The new Torah will be written for us by Ashkelon-based Sofer and Masorti Rabbi Gustavo Suraszki. Resources will also be committed to building a new Ark and providing our congregation with meaningful spiritual, religious and cultural experiences for years to come.
There is no more meaningful way for your family to commemorate an important Jewish milestone Simcha than having your name associated with the book or Parshah from that event. All donors will be acknowledged in a special dedication ceremony and permanent display when the new Torah is completed.
All donations will be to the Kehilat Nitzan Community Library, which is tax deductible. Please see this page or contact the office for more information (9500 0906 info@kehilatnitzan.org.au).
