Saved from Nazi-occupied Prague, thousands of Torah scrolls find new life through a Satmar scribe
A Satmar scribe and a Reform synagogue joined forces to restore 1,564 Torah scrolls rescued from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia
Assessment
1,564 Torah scrolls saved from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia are being restored through a partnership between a Satmar scribe and a Reform synagogue. The collaboration crosses Jewish denominational lines that rarely meet, giving the project significance beyond simple preservation. Watch for how and where the restored scrolls end up, since distribution decisions will shape their next chapter.
