Details: The writing of the Torah scroll is reported to have begun shortly after the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine. The project was initiated by Yonatan Markovych, the Chief Rabbi of Kyiv, who works to strengthen solidarity between Israel and Ukraine. Zelenskyy wrote the first letter of the scroll in his office in Kyiv.
The Torah scroll of solidarity is dedicated to the Jewish community in Ukraine, the people of Israel, and the longed-for peace in both countries.
The scroll will be displayed in the coming months at the Great Synagogue in Kyiv of the Beit Menachem Jewish Community Centre.
