Coming in March ~ A Weekend with Sofer Neil Yerman and the Rededication of our Torah Scrolls.March 12-14, 2010, >A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity
 
Come and be part of this very special event. 

It is guaranteed to be a weekend we’ll long remember:  Sofer (Torah scribe) Neil Yerman has repaired two of CABI’s Torah scrolls and will spend the weekend with CABI to complete and rededicate them.

It will be a weekend of activities and fun for adults, teens, and children.  Sofer Yerman is an artist, a Torah specialist, an enthusiastic educator, and an accomplished klezmer clarinetist.  The full range of his talents will bring new life to our understanding and appreciation of our sacred scrolls.
