Numerous Hachnosas Sifrei Torah Around Town Today as New Year Approaches

After the pre-Shavuos season—when many families choose to dedicate new Sifrei Torah in honor of Kabbolas Hatorah—aleph selichos seems to be the next biggest day to inaugurate sifrei Torah at shuls around Boro Park.

The Sanzer Rebbetzin will be dedicating a sefer Torah in memory of her husband, the late Sanzer Rebbe (who was known for many years as the Sanz-Gribover Rebbe), as well as her parents, Reb Chananya Yom Tov Lipa and Sarah Mann. Kesivas Osiyos from 3:00-5:00 at the home of the Rebbe, 1472 52nd Street.
