The Sofer is in the House!

Much like people, Torah scrolls need regular check-ups and occasionally, specialist intervention. Recently, Rabbi Druin of Sofer on Sight visited Adath Israel to do just that, evaluating five Torahs and repairing three.

Taking a break from his scribal duties, he met with the religious school students and teachers, allowing them a “behind the scenes” look at how Torah scrolls are made and maintained as well as seeing what the scrolls look like when they are rolled out.

Adath Israel is blessed with many Torah scrolls, all in need of check-ups, several in need of repair. If you would like to support this important work, please consider a donation to the Beit-Paley Fund which supports Torah repair.

On March 27th, The Emanuel Synagogue in West Hartford, CT hosted and co-sponsored with the Mandell Jewish Community Center of Greater Hartford an all female Women’s Seder. It was attended by Rabbi Nelly Altenberger of Adath Israel Synagogue of Middletown, CT along with her daughter Ariella and other members, Jamie Bruno, Melissa Olczak, and Sherry Young. All female Rabbis and female Cantors in the state were present. Rabbi Nelly led parts of the Seder.
