Holiday Theft

According to various news sources, "unidentified thieves broke into the moshav synagogue early yesterday and stole six Torah crowns worth hundreds of thousands of shekels, two made of gold and four of silver." from Cochin synagogue in Negev.

Fortunately for us, they took the least valuable items and left the most precious... the Torah. I'm sad that these beautiful items of value which were dedicated to HaShem were stolen but they can never take Him or His Torah away from us and these are more value than all the gold and silver on this earth.

  1. I have to agree on two aspects

    1) You are right no one can ever steal the Torah from our hearts.

    2) The Scrolls themselves are invaluable, hand written, the training...

    Be well!
