Will the 8th children’s Torah finish in time for shnas hakhel? It’s up to you.
In connection with י”א ניסן שנת הקהל תשמ”א, the Rebbe began a ספר תורה for Jewish children and made three farbrengens in a row special for the launch of the children’s Torah campaign.
Since then, 7 Torah scrolls were completed the 7th סיום marked 40 years since the campaign began. The 7th one was completed two years ago in Israel.
It is interesting to note that Since 1981 when the Rebbe began the campaign of ספר תורה הכללי the rebbe stopped using the term “10 מבצעים” and when enumerating the campaigns would always include the campaign of ספר תורה הכללי.
In connection to this year שנת הקהל a group of בחורים spoke with rabbi Shmuel Greisman encouraging him to make the siyum in שנת הקהל. Rabbi Greisman’s response was that he is eager to do so, however we are short as of today 134,633 letters to complete the 8th Torah scroll
To encourage everyone’s involvement a raffle campaign has been launched with three main prizes:
1. A Tanya from the rebbe 2. Flights for you and your family to come into the Rebbe for shnas hakhel (if the winner is someone from New York then they will win that he and his family can fly to eretz yisroel to attend the siyum) 3. A dollar from the rebbe
Every 11 children to purchase a letter is another chance in the raffle. To join the raffle go to https://charidy.com/kidstorah And click where it says “create a team”.
The Rebbe’s new kapitel this year’s chapter 122 which includes the pasuk עיר שחורה לה יחדיו
This pasuk was added by the Rebbe to be stated on all the certificates each child receives on purchasing his letter in the Torah.


The quote from the kapitel is עיר שחוברה לה יחדיו. The article is missing a ב in the word שחוברה
