On Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan the WUJS Israel group, together with Young Judaea's Shevet program, celebrated the arrival of the Sefer Torah from its former home in Arad to Bet Yehuda in Jerusalem.  The Torah was originally donated by the Jewish community of Durban, South Africa through former WUJS staff member Yoel Yativ and his father in law Maldwyn Zimmerman.  Yoel was present at the dedication along with Joel Lazar whose parents dedicated a bima cover in memory of his late grandfather Isaac.  Two hours of celebration were followed by a special lunch.  A great experience was had by all.
