Horeb Girls School Now Has a Sefer Torah Written in Honor of Malki
The classmates and friends of Malki at Jerusalem's Chana
Weingarten Ulpana Toranit (better known as Horeb Girls School) began a project
in Malki's memory on the first anniversary of her murder.
The goal of the project was to endow a Sefer Torah in Malki's
memory, and to present this to the school just before Shavuot of 2003.
The writing of the Sefer Torah commenced in the first week of this
school year with a ceremony in which Arnold Roth, and Malki's three older
brothers wrote the first letters of the first lines of the Torah under the
guidance of the scribe who is writing the entire Sefer.
And just as planned, the Sefer was completed and then
presented to the school in a moving ceremony on
4th June 2003. (Pictures of this beautiful event are
here.)
The costs of the
writing, however, have still not been entirely covered (as of August 2004) and help is needed from
generous benefactors who are willing to participate in this mitzvah. If you are
able to play a role in this worthy initiative, please send
your cheque to: The Society for the Promotion of Jewish Education,
