On March 30 (Rosh Hodesh Nissan), there was a Hachnosas Sefer Torah celebration at Chabad House on Hope Street in Providence.
The new scroll was commissioned and dedicated by Rabbi Yehoshua & Michla Laufer in honor of their parents: Aryeh Leib ben Pesach Hillel & Feigah Tzipah bat Yehoshua Laufer and Reb Dovber ben Gershon & Yasha Leiba bat Dovid Grossbaum.
It was a lively community-wide celebration, full of joy. The beautiful Torah was finished by members of the community at the event, with the help of the sofer, Rabbi Shmuel Taitelbaum. Then the new Sefer Torah was welcomed with dancing in the street, and was used immediately for the Rosh Hodesh reading at Mincha.
