The Torah’s 613th mitzvah/commandment is for each of us to write a Torah scroll. Minimally, this mitzvah can be observed by commissioning the writing of at least part of the Torah scroll. By dedicating a letter, word, verse or chapter in the Torah for yourself, your family members or friends, or in memory of departed loved ones, it is considered as if you have written your very own Torah scroll. Chabad of Shelton offers you the opportunity to be a part of our Community Torah. 

Writing a Torah is a timeless connection to the past and a key to a Jewish future. At the center of Judaism is the living Torah scroll that helps us navigate the spiral of life. 

This Torah is being dedicated by the Gedalius family in loving memory of Jack & Mary Gedalius.

Members of the community are invited to participate in the writing of the Torah through
letter, verse, and parsha dedications.

Please consider being a part of this great Mitzvah!
