Which is the most important letter in the Torah? The first? The last? The letters in the Ten Commandments? Actually, if any letter is missing or incomplete, the whole scroll is invalid for use.
The Jewish nation is one Torah scroll. Every individualâ€"big or small, scholar or unlearnedâ€"is one letter. We are all one, interdependent and equally vital.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory proposed that all Jews join together by purchasing a letter in a "collective" Torah scroll, expressing our inherent unity. One nation, one Torah, one G‑d.
Moreover, a letter in the Torah places its owner in “G‑d’s book." “At that time," the prophet Daniel says, “your people will be delivered, everyone who is found inscribed in the book . . .”
The Jewish nation is one Torah scroll. Every individual – big or small, scholar or unlearned — is one letter. We are all one, interdependent and equally important.
You can purchase a letter in the Torah for yourself or on behalf of a family member, friend or even the soul of a loved one who has passed away. There is no minimum contribution amount.
