NEW SQUARE: Skvere Chassidim Mark One Year Since Historic Hachnoses Sefer Torah; Historic Chernobyl Sefer Torah Dedicated Tonight

On Motzei Shabbos, Skvere Chassidim packed the Skvere Beis Hamedrash in New Square to mark one year since the massive Hachnoses Sefer Torah that drew thousands and left a lasting impression on the Skvere community.

Adding to the excitement, another historic Hachnoses Sefer Torah took place Motzei Shabbos in New Square. The Sefer Torah originally belonged to Reb Aaron of Chernobyl zt”l. Following his petirah in 1871, the Torah was handed down through generations of his descendants and carefully preserved within the family for over 150 years.

Over the years, it remained under the stewardship of successive members of the Chernobyl lineage and eventually came into the possession of a later family custodian, Reb Yitzchok Meir Twersky of Queens, himself a direct descendant, who maintained its documented lineage before it became available in recent times.

The historic Sefer Torah was purchased by renowned philanthropist Reb Nuchem Rokeach, a major supporter of Skvere mosdos, who then gifted it to the Skvere Rebbe. The Torah was brought into the Beis Hamedrash amid spirited singing and dancing, marking yet another powerful and uplifting moment for the Skvere kehilla exactly one year after the previous landmark celebration.
