Lobby - Holocaust Remembrance Centerpiece
On entering our lobby, you will see the display case shown at the right, which holds the first Torah used by Beth Tikva (now Tikvat Israel). This Torah was rescued from the synagogue of Gablonz, Czechoslovakia by Rabbi George Vida. The Torah is now the centerpiece of the Tikvat Israel Holocaust memorial. It is opened Lech Lecha, the last parsha read at the synagogue in Gablonz, Czechoslovakia. The following inscription is below the Torah:
Now the Lord said unto Abram: 'Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house
. . .' (Genesis 12:1)
