Once the last letter is inked in, the Torah Scroll be comes Judaism's most holy object. I his will be done in a ceremony by Marian and Phil Perling who have commissioned the “Centen nial Torah.” Festivities will begin at 10:30 a.m. in the synagogue’s parking lot with the “March of the Tor ahs" down Peachtree Battle Avenue. “The purpose of march ing in public with several scrolls of the Torah,” said Rabbi Arnold Goodman, “is to sum up an an cient rabbinic teaching that the Torah was given at Sinai, rather than the Land of Israel, in order to affirm the universality of its message. As is the custom, the new Torah will be carried under a wedding canopy, symbolizing that the community of Israel was wed to G-d through this revela tion of the Bible.” Within the sanctuary, the last letters will be inked in to com plete the Torah. Sidney Kaplan, Ahavath Achim’s president, noted, "This Centennial Torah is a significant component of the congregation’s year-long centennial celebration. Every Shabbat that we read from it and study from it, we w ill again be inspired by the teachings of our glorious tradition.” The Perling family has been active in the synagogue for many decades. Several years ago, the family dedicated the Perling Youth Lounge of the synagogue. They have also been supportive of many of the congregation’s educational activities. AUCTION!!
