In the month of Nissan of 1981, the Rebbe launched a campaign that would become one of the most unifying initiatives: that every Jewish child should acquire a letter in a Sefer Torah. From the very first sichos, the Rebbe spoke with striking urgency. The global atmosphere at that time felt unstable—one person, one decision, could threaten world security.
In the weeks that followed, the Rebbe repeatedly urged that children be signed up immediately. The Shabbos before shavuos, the Rebbe urged that everyone, including adults, should buy a letter in the sefer Torah. Then, on the first night of Shavuos, a remarkable event shook the world: Israel carried out a one-minute, twenty-second mission to destroy the Iraqi nuclear reactor. Every soldier returned home safely. Chassidim saw clearly: a world rescued at the very moment the Rebbe emphasized the power of children united through Torah.
In the years that followed, the Rebbe expanded the campaign further: every Jew—adults included—should purchase a letter in the Sefer Torah HaKloli.
Now, more than four decades later, for the first time ever in the United States, the 11th Sefer Torah HaKloli will be completed right here in Crown Heights. In the current global climate, the world may feel as unstable as in 1981, therefore, we as chassidim must heed the The Rebbes call in participating in the Sefer Torah Hakloli.
Previously, several events have taken place in Israel and even in Canada celebrating completed Sifrei Torah Hakloli. This Sunday, the community is invited and encouraged to take part, “B’gufo U’b’mamono”—in marking and celebrating this great milestone and achievement.
A grand outdoor concert and Hakafos will be held in front of 770. Families, children, shluchim, anash, and guests are all encouraged to attend and take part in this historic moment of unity.
