Over 500 people attended the event, as Chabad of Markham, Ontario, Canada, welcomed a new Sefer Torah in loving memory of Zalmy Plotkin, OB”M. A Torah parade was held after the last letters of the Torah were inscribed.
The children led the parade holding a massive banner followed by a music car and the Torah under a handheld Chuppah. The sun came out just on time and provided beautiful weather for the special occasion.
After the Torah was welcomed with Hakafos, dancing and flags, an emotional memorial service for Zalmy was conducted with speeches by Goldie Plotkin and Mendy Plotkin and a very moving audio-visual presentation.
This was all followed by a barbeque, bonfire and a spectacular firework show.
Chabad of Markham would like to thank all the volunteers and attendees who helped make this event such a memorable one.
