Thousands gathered at the Western Wall last night for the emotional and festive occasion of dedicating the “Eighth Torah Scroll of Israel’s Children.” Led by Admorim, rabbis, and community leaders, the celebration marked the joyous Torah in the Western Wall Plaza.
The moving ceremony commenced with circles of dancing led by thousands of Chabad Hasidim and their children. Hundreds of celebrants from various backgrounds and communities joined them as they sang and danced in honor of the Torah. At the peak of the event, thousands prayed for the unity of the Jewish people and the coming of the Messiah.
The writing of the Torah Scroll of Israel’s Children is one of the initiatives established by the Rebbe of Chabad. Each child “acquires” a letter in the Torah scroll through a symbolic contribution from their parents from all corners of the globe. Thus, hundreds of thousands of Jewish children actively participate in this project, aiming to unite all the children of the Jewish nation from around the world and strengthen their connection to the Torah. The Rebbe expressed the desire for this Torah scroll celebration to take place at the Western Wall.
