    Kirays Joel, NY – Young men who belong to the Kollel D’Monroe congregation in Kiryas Joel lead a procession to place a new Torah in their synagogue. The Torah, which was made in Israel, came on Tuesday and cost the young men, all bachelors, $60,000, according to Herschel Leonolovitz, a Kiryas Joel native and member of the synagogue’s board.

    If I get it correctly. There was a hachnusas sefer torah from the bucherim group who are having a dispute with duvid ekstein the rosh hakuhol in monroe and the head of the vaad hatznius. This is an ongoing fight between the raboonim in monroe and duvud ekstein, the rabunim think that as long as these bucherim are not “fardurben” they should not be expelled from the community but duvid ekstein is claiming that it makes monroe look like flatbush.

    They probably made a big deal to show off and upset their oponents.

    I think you are all missing the point. A new sefer torah was created, it will be used for years to come, that is the simcha.

    The horses are there to protect the bachelors form people that feel they should have been the ones to receive the torah.

    The rabbi couldn’t come because he is in Hollywood signing a record label, to be called “Oops we did it again”.

    Seriously people can’t you just be happy that a shul is going to get a brand new sefer?

    I have never yet seen horses at a Hachnosas Sefer Torah. What’s the scoop? And who are those men on the horses they don’t look Satmat to me.
