Inside our Chumashim -- the Torah texts we read in synagogue -- is the greatest wisdom of the Jewish faith. But outside, the covers are falling off! Help us restore a Chumash. Your contribution of $36 will save a Chumash. To commemorate your kindness, a new, personalized bookplate will be affixed to the restored Chumash -- honoring, remembering, or celebrating those you choose. Save a Chumash today! Contact Orit Rappaport at (818) 530-4014 or email [email protected].
