Czech Scroll Stories

We are delighted to share the news we have allocated a MST Czech Sefer Torah to Hamakom, a new egalitarian community in Porto, the first we have everr sent to a Portuguese community.

The Memorial Scrolls Trust cares for 1564 Torah scrolls that represent the lost Jewish communities of Bohemia and Moravia. Some 1400 have been allocated on loan (they are never sold) to communities and organisations around the world.
