We had a special event here in Ramat Beit Shemesh (affectionately known as "The Ramah" - a word which I might understand better if I was paying attention in my ulpan - but it apparently means "the Heights", mainly cuz we're on a hill...)


Anyway... The special event was the "Welcoming of a new Torah", Hachnasas Torah, to the local, very bouncy Carlebach shul...

Nothing is done in a low key way when it comes to welcoming the Torah.... but this was pretty wild!

I'll bet they didn't have this when the new Eruv was inaugurated in Portland last week!!! (Mazal tov!!! Mazal tov!!!)
