Writing the Next Chapter: West End Synagogue Begins a New Torah

West End Synagogue celebrated the first lines of a new Torah commissioned to celebrate the congregation’s 150 anniversary. Rabbi Joshua Kullock is leading the year-long process. The scribe for what will be the synagogue’s first new Torah in 22 years, is Rabbi Gustavo Surazski. Pictured are some photos from the event, which included prayers, music, and dessert ahead of the recent snowstorm.
