in near-perfect condition and landed a world away at his tiny synagogue "It means 'meant to be,' " he said The 131-year-old Torah is being celebrated at Congregation Ahavat Olam for the first time on Rosh Hashanah offering a powerful symbol on the endurance of the Jewish faith The sheepskin scroll was believed to have been completed in 1878 the date of the inscription on its wooden handle The handle also bears the name of the couple who donated it to their congregation in Moravske Budejovice It was kept in a warehouse with other Torahs and Judaica after Hitler came to power the cache from the Central Jewish Museum in Prague was controlled by communists who eventually sold the scroll and 1,563 others to a London synagogue in 1963 museums and other groups as symbols of survival of the faith and a connection to all the Jews lost during the Holocaust "We've sent them all over the world," said Evelyn Friedlander "and they've come back to life." The scroll came to Miami after Marmorstein placed the synagogue's name on a waiting list several years back it remains the property of the London organization based on their desire to incorporate the scroll into their worship the Torah was welcomed last month with a procession from Marmorstein's house to the Methodist church about a mile away where the 100-member congregation has been renting space for worship It was to be read for the first time and be the subject of the rabbi's sermon when the congregants celebrate the Jewish new year on Friday survived the Holocaust in part by being taken in by the parents of a Christian friend and then hiding in a Catholic orphanage She remembers being forced with her parents from their home Her mother died at the Treblinka extermination camp "My parents just walked out of our apartment which was beautifully furnished with antiques and Oriental rugs and we just walked out and that was it," she said I've thought material possessions don't mean anything." But a Torah is different: It's not just the central symbol of her faith but something used in actual prayer and worship says he was a young Army private from New Jersey when he helped liberate the Buchenwald concentration camp And he sees the Torah as an extension of his wartime experience "It's all part of the same story," he said "It's all part of the same historical moment." also heads the Czech Torah Network in Sherman Oaks which has helped reunite Holocaust survivors with scrolls from their hometowns she wonders what happened to the people from its synagogue Jews would have faded away long before Ahavat Olam gained roots in South Florida five years ago Hitler's army would have killed the men and women who bore its congregants And the Torah never would have left SS hands Rabbi Marmorstein knew he wanted a Holocaust-surviving Torah since the congregation was born He wanted to pay tribute to the Jews who died and could think of no better way than through the faith's most prized possession The 54-year-old rabbi shows a black-and-white picture of 11 relatives Only two in the photo survived the Holocaust: his father and an uncle who both were liberated from Auschwitz When asked why getting the Torah was so important this whole history is in my family," he said "It's easy for us to sit and talk about it Nov 3 (CTK) - The Czech Republic has experienced an exceptionally warm early November and dozens of places across the country reported record high temperatures on November 3 a representative of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMU) has told CTK The highest temperature of 20 degrees Celsius was recorded in Lednice New record high temperatures for November 3 were hit in 35 out of the 150 meteorological stations in the country which have all been reporting data for at least the past 30 years The highest temperatures were reported in southern parts of Bohemia and Moravia The temperature of 20 degrees in Lednice equals the previous record set on November 3 Temperature records were also set in Moravské Budějovice 0.9 degree more than the previous record 50 years ago recorded a November 3 record high at more than 18 degrees in both locales Temperature records in the Czech Republic were also topped on Monday as meteorological stations reported highs over 19 degrees Celsius A record of 19.6 degrees was reported in Tuhan From Wednesday, however, meteorologists expect the temperatures to fall not exceeding 13 degrees during the daytime through the end of the week Your morning coffee deserves a great companion.
