This article appeared in our newspaper today: Stolen Torahs Stun Congregations... It ran on the front page. The reason I was drawn to the article is that the rabbi in the picture is one from our synagogue. They also quoted our Executive Director in the article.
After reading the article, it made me wonder why anyone would steal a Torah. I don't understand why someone would be so hateful. Stuff like this (and vandalizing cemeteries...don't get me started) makes me so mad.
