Letter from the Honorable Chief Rabbi David Sabbah of Quebec
September 29th 2014
It is with deep emotion that I read about the magnificent plan to dedicate 75 Sifrey Torah to the civilians and military fallen during Operation Protective Edge in order to honor and perpetuate their memory.
There is nothing more appreciated and more appropriate than looking through the eternity of the Torah, to give the soul of our dear departed, this dimension of sustainability and eternity.
With my encouragement and congratulations to the initiators of this project, I make it a sacred mission to express my full support and call upon my brothers to help contribute to its realization.
With the blessing of the Torah
Dr. David Sabbah
Chief Rabbi of Quebec / Grand Rabbinat du Québec
