American Friends of Neve Hanna
YOU too can join by sponsoring letters, words, names, or various segments of the text. The special significance of writing a Torah, is that every ot (letter), milah (word), pasuk (verse), parashah (weekly portion), sefer (book), and shem (name) in the Torah will be sponsored by the friends of the Children of Neve Hanna. Our children will proudly be able to study, read from and carry their own Sefer Torah.
Where will the Neve Hanna Torah reside?
In the Aron Kodesh at the synagogue at Neve Hanna Children’s Home, where it will be used on a regular basis by the boys and girls who will be Israel’s Jewish educators and lay leaders of tomorrow.
How will the proceeds from the Neve Hanna Torah Project be utilized?
With its successful therapeutic programs, leisure time activities and projects, Neve Hanna Children’s Home strives to meet all the physical, emotional, mental and educational needs of its children.
This project will also enable us to fund:
How can you become a part of the Neve Hanna Torah?
Choose words, or sentences, or whole chapters to be inscribed in the Torah scroll. This is an especially meaningful way to commemorate a special occasion, such as a birth or a bar/bat mitzvah, or to memorialize a loved one.
How can you choose an appropriate phrase?
According to our tradition, each letter of the Torah is infused with holiness, so every letter is worthy of selection. However, some passages may be personally meaningful; names, places, or events in the Torah may be significant to you and your loved ones. If you would like assistance with your selection, call the American Friends of Neve Hanna office at 347-836-8118 or email us at info@afnevehanna.org and they will be directed to Rabbi Joseph A. Brodie, Rabbi Ellen Wolitz-Fields, Rabbi Michael Greenbaum or Rabbi Jill Kreitman. They will be delighted to help you.
