Today, Chof Av, Thousands of Yidden from all backgrounds gathered at the Kosel in Yerushalayim for the Siyum of the 8th Children’s Sefer Torah.
The completion of this Sefer Torah is the result of the dedicated efforts of a committed group of bochurim and yungeleit, who worked tirelessly to ensure its completion during this Hakhel year. However, at the outset, only about half of the letters were secured, presenting a challenge for the organizers.
Undeterred, the bochurim, yungeleit, and shluchim works tirelessly to promote the cause of Ois B’Sefer Torah. Their hard work and determination paid off, as they successfully signed up 170,000 children for letters in the Torah since Chanukah alone.
To appreciate the magnitude of this achievement, it is important to consider the historical context. While the first Children’s Sefer Torah was completed within months, subsequent Torahs took longer. In fact, the previous six Torahs were written over a span of forty years, averaging one Torah every eight years.
The siyum, celebrated the completion of the eighth Children’s Sefer Torah, took place at the Kosel in Yerushalayim on Chof Av – the yahrzeit of the Rebbe’s father, Harav Levi Yitzchak.
