Despite a temperature of -32 Celsius (-25.6 F) outside, the local Jewish community of the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk celebrated the inauguration of a new Torah Scroll last Thursday that was welcomed into the ‘Tabchinik’ Synagogue with singing and dancing.
The special event was attended by guests from around the world, Mr. Michal Abrahamov from Abakan (400 Kilometers away) who donated the new Torah, Rabbis and dignitaries, hundreds of community members and a band arriving from Israel.
After the last letters were filled in by the donor and the deputy governor Mr. Sergei Fonomarinko, the participants danced their way out into the streets despite the incredible cold, and then returned for more dancing and a festive dinner indoors.
So nice to see photos of the beautiful work Benny and Dina do all the way in Krasnoyarsk! So Special!!
What dedication! Kol Hakavod. So proud of you all.
Kol Hakavod!
May the Torah be a Brocha in all aspects of tehir lives and in the lives of every Yid-bTov hanireh vhanigleh
