Two Sifrei Torah, Two Classmates, Two Tragedies

By 05/11/2023 12:23 PMNo CommentsBy YidInfo Staff

On Lag Ba’Omer, locals in Jerusalem’s Har Nof neighborhood inaugurated two sifrei Torah in a touching event to honor two young community members in the same Talmud Torah class.

Elazar Kolti was 13 years old when he perished in the Meron crowd crush precisely two years ago and was remembered in one of the sifrei Torahs.

Aryeh Schupak, a friend and classmate of Elazar, was 15 years old when he died in a terrorist attack at the Jerusalem entrance in November 2022.

Friends of Aryeh put a great deal of work into collecting beer and plastic bottle deposits, using that money to raise money for the Sefer Torah they were consecrating.
