Ukubaluleka Kwemiqulu
Izazi ziye zanquma ukuthi kungaba nzima ukubona izibonelo zesiko nenkolo yamaJuda ezifaneleka kakhulu kunemiqulu yeTorah. Ukufundwa embhalweni wesandla wesikhumba, oqukethe umbhalo wesiHeberu Wezincwadi Ezinhlanu ZikaMose, iMfundiso Yaphezulu eyanikezwa abantu bakwaIsrayeli, iyitshe legumbi esikweni lesinagoge lamaJuda.
Ngaphezu Kwesikhumba
Umqulu weTorah uwucwephe lwesikhumba, olungiswe ngesikhumba sesilwane esiluhlaza. Amasentimitha amaningi ubude, isekelwa amarola amabili okhuni (atzei hayyim, “izihlahla zokuphila”) ekugcineni ngakunye. Njengoba kubhekwa njengongcwele, umbhalo nomqulu kunesikhundla esikhethekile ebuJudeni. Uma umqulu ufanelekile ukuba ufundwe esinagogeni, umqulu weTorah kumelwe ubhalwe ngombhalo wesikwele wesiHeberu ngoyinki ongapheli ngumbhali onguchwepheshe (sofer). Umqulu awukwazi ukuba namaphutha ombhalo futhi nezinhlamvu kufanele zifundeke. Nakuba amaphutha athile nokungapheleli kungase kulungiswe umbhali, uma umonakalo ubanzi, isikhumba asinakusetshenziswa.
U-Jeffrey Ohrenstein, uSihlalo, i-Memorial Scrolls Trust, e-London, e-UK “Le miqulu isaphila futhi ingofakazi abathule be-Shoah.”
Isihawu esimangazayo
Iqiniso lokuthi imiqulu yeTorah ikhona nhlobo liyamangalisa. Basindiswa ku Izifunda zaseCzechoslovakian yaseBohemia kanye neMoravia phakathi neMpi Yezwe II, yasinda ekubhujisweni okwakuhleliwe kwakho konke okwamaJuda kanye nokwesabeka kombuso wamaKhomanisi owawulawula izwe ngo-1948.
Kucatshangwa ukuthi izinto zobuciko zasinda ngoba iPrague, nakuba yayilimele kakhulu, ayizange ilungiswe phakathi nempi. Le miqulu yayigcinwa esinagogeni endaweni yasePrague futhi yahlala (ibola) kulesi sakhiwo kwaze kwaba ngu-1963, lapho uhulumeni waseCzech efuna umthengi walezo ngcebo. U-Eric Estorick, umdayisi wezobuciko waseBrithani, wethula leli thuba kuRalph Yablon, ilungu elisungule leSinagoge saseLondon iWestminster. UYabloni wathenga imiqulu wanikela ngayo esinagogeni lakhe.
Ngo-February 7, 1964, imiqulu engu-1,564 30 yalethwa eLondon. NgokukaJeffrey Ohrenstein, "Bezifakwe ezikhwameni zepulasitiki, njengezikhwama zomzimba." Eminingi yale miqulu yayisesimweni esibi. Ngenhlanhla, uRabi David Brand, usofa, wayefuna umsebenzi, futhi wacabanga ukuthi isinagoge lalizoba okungenani nomqulu owodwa odinga ukulungiswa; waboniswa yonke imiqulu edinga ukunakwa kwakhe. Wasebenza esinagogeni cishe iminyaka engu-XNUMX, elungisa yonke imiqulu - yena ngokwakhe.
Ngemva nje kokufika kwabo eLondon, kwasungulwa isikhwama sokunakekela le miqulu futhi kwaqalwa ukulungiswa. Eminyakeni engu-30 eyalandela, imiqulu engaphezu kuka-1,400 XNUMX yathunyelwa emasinagogeni emhlabeni wonke. Manje i-Trust igxile ekuqwashiseni ngesibopho esihambisana nokwakhiwa kwalezi zincwadi zomlando. Amasinagoge nezikhungo ayacelwa ukuba anikele ngeShabbat eyodwa phakathi nonyaka eBandleni LeSikhumbuzo ukuze uhambisane nesikhumbuzo sokudingiswa kwalowo mphakathi futhi kukhumbuze amaJuda amaningi abulawa ngokukhumbula amagama awo ngaleyo Shabbat neYom HaShoah noYum Kippur.
I-Czech Torah Scrolls ebukwa e-Manhattan @ Temple Emanu-El, February 5, 2019
Njengoba kunemiqulu engaphezu kuka-75 evela ezifundazweni nasemazweni ahlukene angaphezu kuka-10, amakhulu abantu ayegcwele ehholo e-Temple Emanu-El. Imiqulu ikhonjwa ngenombolo futhi ayisenazo izigqoko zayo zangempela. Ikhava yamanje yomqulu isukela kuvelvet ewubukhazikhazi kuya kwiplaid ye-tartan enekhava evelele eklanywe ngemigqa yomfaniswano wekamu lokuhlushwa. I-Torahs yayithwalwa amalungu eThempeli kanye nabameleli abavela emasinagogeni aseduze nasezindlini zokukhonza. Udwendwe lomqulu lwaluhambisana nevayolini edlala i-Etz Hayim (Isihlahla sokuphila) esivela kuZaga.
Emazwini akhe athinta inhliziyo ezilalelini, uJeffrey Ohrenstein wathi: “ITorah iwukuphela kwento ehlanganisa wonke amaJuda. Singathanda ukuthi abaphethe imiqulu basebenzise imiqulu ngendlela ezokhumbuza abantu ngalokho esifana ngakho kunokuthi lokho okusihlukanisayo.”

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Synagogues and institutions are asked to devote one Shabbat during the year to the Memorial Congregation to coincide with the anniversary of the deportation of that community and to memorialize the many murdered Jews by remembering their names on that Shabbat and Yom HaShoah and Yum Kippur.
- The reading from a parchment manuscript, containing the Hebrew text of the Five Books of Moses, the Divine Teaching handed over to the people of Israel, is the cornerstone to the Jewish synagogue ritual.
- The scrolls were stored in a synagogue in a Prague suburb and they remained (decomposing) in this building until 1963, when the Czech government sought a buyer for the treasures.
