Temple Etz Chaim’s Torah Dedication: Joining Together in Sacred Celebration
Join us for TEC’s Torah Dedication
The dedication of a brand-new Torah scroll — and an invitation for every member of our community to write a letter of their own, with the Sofer, on Sunday, October 25, 2026
Temple Etz Chaim invites our entire community to join us for an extraordinary milestone: the dedication of a brand-new Torah scroll, generously gifted to our congregation by The Ghozland Family, in honor of their son’s Bar Mitzvah.
To mark this blessed occasion, every member of our congregation has the rare and holy opportunity to participate in completing a portion of the scroll. Working side-by-side with our guest Sofer (scribe), individuals and families can sponsor and ink the final letters, words, or verses of the Torah.
Your generosity not only supports our synagogue’s ongoing spiritual and educational programs, but ensures your family’s name is woven into the very fabric of our community’s newest sacred text.
Levels of Participation
Each level includes everything listed. Levels are named for how much of the Torah your gift completes — from a single letter to the crown that sits atop the finished scroll.
