We’ll be borrowing a second Torah for the High Holidays!
For the second straight year, Congregation Adas Shalom in northern Maryland will be lending us one of its Torahs for us to use during Yom Kippur; this means we won’t have to roll our Torah scroll from Deuteronomy to Genesis and back to Deuteronomy again in the space of a few days. (Thanks to Rabbi Gail for facilitating this.)
Pat Myers will be driving to the Annapolis area (home of the mother of one of the congregants) this week to pick up the Torah. Would anyone be able to drive it back there after Yom Kippur (sometime after Oct. 13)? It’s a retirement community several miles before Annapolis. Contact Pat at myerspat@gmail.com if you’re available, and we can see what date will work out.
