The synagogue was broken into in
the night, but only the scroll was dis

robber walked straight down the aisle
to the rear of the altar, where he re-

which it was kept.
The scroll is one of the most pre-

Hebrew, is kept in its case, and only
the rabbi is allowed to see or touch
it. The scroll that was taken is "a
