Temple Beth Or of the Deaf in New York, who closed at the end of last year, has passed on their Torah to the Philadelphia Hebrew Association of the Deaf, (PHAD) thanks to PHAD member Betty Oshman who also was previously a long time Temple Beth Or of the Deaf member. The ibrah was originally one of several Torahs saved in Czechoslovakia during the holocaust and was given to Temple Beth Or of the Deaf. Philadelphia HAD members Robert Katz and Dennis Simmonds drove up to East Elmhurst, NY to receive the Torah, prayer books and tallits on December 19th.
