The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting today that a local synagogue, Congregation Bnai Zedek Chabad in Kenosha, had its two Torah scrolls stolen. The article states that the Torahs had a value of forty to fifty thousand dollars, but the true value of a Torah to any synagogue goes far beyond any monetary value. It has a strong spiritual and sentimental value that far outweigh any price tag. Who in their right mind would break in to a religious institution (of any kind) and steal what is essentially the most religiously, spiritually, and historically important item. It is absolutely disgusting that someone would do this and I hope that the person or people who stole these Torahs is caught and feels the full force of the law. My hopes and prayers go out to the members of this synagogue and I sincerely hope that they are able to get their Torahs returned to them with no harm done to the scrolls.
For more information on the Synagogue, the stolen Torahs, and to donate to help them raise the funds for a new Torah, visit Chabad of Kenosha.
