Help us Welcome a Rescued Holocaust Torah Generously Sponsored by Barbara and Dell Coleman
A Holocaust Torah rescued from Moravia has found its new home in the J.B. Greenfield Chapel. This Kabbalistic Torah was originally brought to the United States by Rabbi Sholom Alchanan Singer of Congregation B’Nai Torah in Highland Park, IL.
Barbara Coleman’s parents, Cecil Levine Berman and Dr. Alex Martin Berman of blessed memory, were actively involved in maintaining this Torah as well as its silver and mantels. As the Ritual and Music Committee Chair, Dr. Berman meticulously oversaw its upkeep, including the preservation of the original German identification tag which accompanied the Torah while it was housed at the Moravian Synagogue.
The Memorial Scrolls Trust granted Beth Yeshurun special permission to house this important historical Torah in the Ark of our J.B. Greenfield Chapel. Barbara and Dell have generously sponsored its kashering and relocation. With its original mantles, the Torah is dressed with beautiful rimonim, a yad and breastplate, in tribute to the people of Hrance, Moravia.
