Torah Scrolls at Rodeph Sholom
Taken directly from the Memorial Scrolls Trust, “A series of miracles allowed a huge hoard of Czech Torah scrolls to survive the devastation of the Shoah and stand as a testament to the communities that perished. The Trust is committed to maintaining the legacy of these scrolls by dispersing 1,400 of them around the world on permanent loan from our collection. To those who were entrusted with the scrolls, they are a symbol of hope as well as sorrow. The hope pushed forward an ongoing mission. We believe these Czech scrolls should be re-instituted in Jewish life as a memorial to the vanished communities which once treasured them. The Memorial Scrolls Trust bears witness to the fulfillment of this hope. Let us teach our children about the world of miracles and let us use the scrolls to remind people about what binds them together every day.”

Rabbi Eisenberg's Comments on Israel During Shabbat
“Now more than ever, it is crucial for American Jews to join synagogues and attend services and activities. With the ongoing crisis in Israel, it is too easy to stay glued to our TV’s watching the news, isolating ourselves from our community. Israel needs us, we need Israel and we need each other. That’s where Rodeph Sholom comes in, providing a supportive and nurturing place for spiritual nourishment and social connection. I urge you to come visit us. If you are already affiliated on some level, I encourage you to join us for services so that we can worship together and draw the strength we need from one another to get through these dark times.”
