Yesterday [Sunday] there was a “Hachnosas Safer Torah” to the Chabad House of Georgetown which is run by R. Avrohom Holtzberg. The Torah was donated in memory of Rivka bas Reuven & Shoshana by Miriam bas Robert & Medelin Berkowitz, the Torah was then escorted to the Chabad House with the participation of a large crowd, the police even blocked off Ave. M, the block where the Chabad House resides due to the large crowd.

After the Hachnosas Safer Torah a large Seudas Mitzavah took place in the Chabad House, with the participation of R. Aryeh Gamliel, former Keneset Member who is a good friend of the family and flew in especially for the event, and the Rav of the Shul R. Yirmiya Levi, at the end of the event the last candle was lit on the large Menorah outside the Chabad House.
