Dedicated Schul and Sefer Torah Kibbutz Keren Sholom (On border w/Egypt)

Hundreds of people attended the dedication of the Schul and Sefer Torah at Kibbutz Kerem Shalom on Thursday, 26 April 2018. Attendees came from the Kibbutzim near Gaza and Egypt, and included among others: Minister of Agriculture, Uri Ariel who donated the Sefer Torah, 50 students from a religious pre-military academy headed by Rav Rafi Peretz (Former IDF Rabbi), and Mr. Meir Mir, Secretary for the whole Kibbutz movement in Israel.

AH dedicated the schul in memory of a very special man, Mr. Irving Moscowitz OBM. Everyone was very moved by Secretary Mir’s talk when he shared that this was the first time in his life he danced with a Sefer Torah. Now that they Kerem Shalom had both a Schul and a Sefer Torah, he urged the Kibbutz members to participate in davening on L’eil Shabbos and Shabbos morning. He continued that even if they might be uncomfortable, about participating when requested they should make the minyan.
