In Deuteronomy 31:19, Moses speaks to the Israelites at the end of his life and tells them: “Now, write down these words and teach them to the Children of Israel – put them into their mouths.” From this, our sages concluded that every one of us is responsible to actually write a Sefer Torah. This is considered to be the 613th – or very last -commandment in the Torah. Most of us do not possess the skills to take pen to parchment and write. We can, however, participate in a communal effort to create a new scroll for our community.

Our new Torah will not only be beautiful, but it will also be a physical and spiritual reminder of the role of Torah in our lives – and that of our synagogue. Every member of Temple Emanuel will have an opportunity to sponsor a part of our new Sefer Torah – be it an entire book, chapter, parasha, verse, or even a letter. We look forward to sharing in this exciting project together.

Please contact Francie Miran, Development Director, at miran@emanueldenver.org, with any questions or for additional information.
