History was made on Sunday October 3rd as Yachad celebrated their first Hachnasas Sefer Torah.
This Torah, dedicated in loving memory of Debbie Cohen Z’L, the mother in law of Ken Saibel (associate Director, Yachad International) who spent her life as a teacher within the special needs community, was completed with a gala celebration at the Yachad NJ Headquarters along with singing and dancing honoring this beautiful occasion.
The festivities will continue as the Sefer Torah will be used starting Thursday October 7th, at IVDU in Brooklyn, where a street parade will be followed by Krias HaTorah & breakfast.
This Sefer Torah will be used throughout the year at IVDU & at all Yachad Shabbatons & Summer programs.
