Writing a Torah Scroll
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the passing of the Tzaddik, Rabbi Aryeh Levin ZT”L, “Keren HaTzadik” has begun writing a Torah Scroll in his memory, dedicated to strengthening the unity of the Jewish People.
The inspiration for this Torah Scroll, written to increase unity, stems from the Holy Zohar, which teaches that the 600,000 letters of the Torah correspond to the 600,000 souls of Israel.
It is a sacred Jewish custom to partner in the acquisition of a Torah Scroll by purchasing individual letters, verses, or special sections.
The mitzvah of writing a letter in a Torah Scroll is the final of the 613 commandments, as stated in Deuteronomy: “Now therefore write ye this song for you.”
Our Sages emphasized the greatness of this mitzvah and its many spiritual benefits (Segulot), especially the important custom of purchasing letters for every child near the time of their birth.
One can purchase letters forming a full name, a verse starting and ending with the letters of their name, or at least one single letter to merit the fulfillment of the mitzvah.
The directors of “Keren HaTzadik” note that this mitzvah encompasses all blessings: health, spiritual and material success, matchmaking, children, prosperity, and redemption.
One letter: 1.20 ₪. The remainder of the donation will support the charitable activities of “Keren HaTzadik” in memory of Rabbi Aryeh Levin ZT”L.
