In its final stop before the Siyum completion ceremony, the Second Unity Torah, dedicated to Hatzalah members around the world, made a stop at the Rebbe’s Ohel in Cambria Heights, Queens.
On the evening before the Torah is set to be completed on Lag BaOmer, the organizers and sponsors of the project, Rabbi Beryl Junik, Rabbi Shloime Greenwald and R’ Zalmy Cohen, sat down at the Ohel with Crown Heights Sofer Rabbi Moshe Klein and filled in the remaining letters ahead of the final few which will be completed this evening at the grand Siyum event which will be streamed live around the world.
They were joined by the Hatzalah-thon Siyum event producer R’ Shneur Nejar and event coordinator Shaul Dahan.
They then placed a Pan note at the Ohel for a blessing for the success of tonight’s historic event.
This week, the Torah has been at Central Hatzalah Headquarters in Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY, and hundreds of Hatzalah members have been streaming in from the New York area and beyond to inscribe letters in the Torah.
The writing of the first and second Unity Torahs, begun during the pandemic, have been called a “historic endeavor” by many for the unprecedented unity it has brought to Klal Yisroel across the globe by uniting hundreds of thousands who have purchased letters.
The grand Hatzalah-thon will take place tonight, April 29 – Lag BaOmer, commemorating the completion of the Torah, and celebrating Hatzalah members around the world and their dedication to saving lives 24/7.
The live event to be streamed across the globe will feature the biggest stars in Jewish music, including Yishai Ribo, Avraham Fried, Mordechai Ben David, Benny Elbaz, 8th Day – the brothers Shmuli and Bentzi Marcus, Mordechai Shapiro and Motty Steinmetz.
