Event Navigation
At Charles E. Smith Life Communities, we are honored to commission a new, lighter Sefer Torah specially designed for the residents of Ring House, making it easier for them to hold and engage with this sacred scroll during services and celebrations.
Participating in the writing of a Torah is a rare and sacred opportunity to fulfill one of Judaism’s 613 commandments—the mitzvah of writing a Torah.
Join us for your opportunity to watch Rabbi Herzfeld create this new scroll for Ring House. Opportunities to inscribe a letter may be available.
Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld is a respected Modern Orthodox rabbi, educator and Torah scribe. He previously served as senior rabbi of Ohev Sholom—The National Synagogue in Washington, D.C., and now leads Yeshivas Elimelech, an inclusive yeshiva he founded to make Torah study more accessible to all. His connection to Ring House is especially meaningful— his parents are proud residents, and he is honored to write this Torah for a community that has become part of his family’s life.
