A gift of Torah

For many years Holy Blossom Brotherhood has given a copy of the Plaut Torah Commentary to all bar and bat mitzvah youths at Holy Blossom.

 

We hope these volumes will be a valuable resource for the students of our synagogue as they prepare for their bar and bat mitzvah celebrations and for many years to come.
