Where Do Our Torahs Come From?
Congregation Beth Emeth is privileged to have
4 very special Torahs. Click for brief information about each -- where it
comes from, what we use it for and why.

Pinchas Torah
We use this Torah only for the special Pinchas portion which is
read as the maftir on many holidays and on Rosh Chodesh (more info being
prepared.)
Holocaust Torah
This Torah was rescued from the Holocaust and was brought to our shul by
the Marks family. This Torah is no longer strictly Kosher, so in the
synagogue we only read the Zachor portion from it once a year. It is also
used during the year for the 7th grade class services and our minyanaire's
program.
Or Torah
Named for the word Or
(light) embroidered on the Torah mantle, we read from the Ohr Torah most
Shabbatot and on
some holidays (more info being prepared.)
Shema Torah
Named for the words Shema Yisrael embroidered on the Torah mantle. We use
this Torah for many holiday readings (more info being prepared.)
