By A lengthy and loving restoration process will soon begin for three Hungarian Torahs, rescued from Russia by a Boca Raton grandmother determined to save the Holocaust relics.
The three Torahs, deposited after World War II in a Russian library basement, will be dedicated Sept. 20 at Boca Raton Synagogue, which will house them as they undergo repairs.
The Torahs were among 118 taken from the Hungarian Jewish community during World War II and stored as the spoils of war in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. Two rabbis from the Orthodox Chabad movement of Judaism discovered the scrolls after the Russians returned a cache of antique books from the same archive to the Hungarian Jewish community in 2006.
The Torah celebration begins at 10 a.m. Sept. 20 at Boca Raton Synagogue, 7900 N. Montoya Circle. Call 561-394-0384 for more information.
