Honoring lives lost in Pittsburgh
(Barbara Balkin)
Temple Emeth in Teaneck unrolled its Holocaust memorial Torah, which was rescued from a ravaged synagogue in Plzen, Czechoslovakia, during World War II during a Solidarity Shabbat on November 3 to honor the lives lost in the attack on the Pittsburgh synagogue. As congregants held the Torah scroll, Rabbi Steven Sirbu and Cantor Ellen Tilem recited El Malei Rachamim and the Mourner’s Kaddish.
