PK Torah Used for B’nei Mitzvah in Ukraine

On November 16-19, Truskavets, Ukraine, hosted the 10th anniversary of Active Jewish Teens, a JDC initiative. PK is proud to report that the AJT community B’nei Mitzvah was conducted with a scroll from our Torah Return Project. AJT brought together 154 participants from all over Ukraine and 5 girls and 3 boys symbolically entered Jewish adulthood. The PK Torah Scroll was provided by the Rivne Jewish community. The scroll was a gift from Congregation B’nai Israel of Vernon Rockville, CT, and endowed by former Project Kesher board chair, Sheila Lambert.
