Dear Beloved Ladies of Sephardic Temple Tifereth Israel,

It is with immense gratitude and appreciation that I reach out to you today. As we embark on this new journey together, I am filled with honor to acknowledge and perpetuate not only your name but also the cherished memory of your loved ones through the acquisition of a new Holy Sefer Torah. This Torah will serve as a beacon of light for our congregation, guiding and inspiring future generations with its timeless wisdom.

During our recent Pesach sermon in our sacred sanctuary, I had the privilege to share with you the vision for this endeavor. We have the opportunity to inscribe only 54 spots within this Torah, each one representing a legacy of devotion and commitment to our community.

The selection of the parasha will be offered in accordance with your generous contribution of $1800, on a first-come, first-serve basis. All pledges need to be received by Yom Hatzmaot May 14, 2024.

Time is of the essence, and as we approach the upcoming High Holidays, it is imperative that we act swiftly. I urge you to reach out to Melissa at (310) 475-7311 at your earliest convenience to secure your place within this historic undertaking. Together, let us ensure that our new Sefer Torah graces our sanctuary, ready to impart its blessings upon our congregation for the years to come.

Your unwavering trust in my leadership fills me with humility and gratitude. It is through your dedication and philanthropy that we continue to thrive as a community, enriching the lives of those around us and leaving a profound legacy for future generations.

With deepest appreciation and warmest regards,

Rabbi Refael Cohen

Sephardic Temple Tiferet Israel
