On Yud Alef Nissan 5741, the Rebbe announced a new initiative; A Torah should be written for children, uniting Jewish children around the world. Over the next few days, the Rebbe farbrenged another two times, urging Chassidim to sign children up for the special Torah.
Since then, seven Sifrei Torah have been completed, uniting close to two million Jewish children from every corner of the globe. And just weeks ago, organizers announced that writing on the eighth Children’s Sefer Torah is already underway.
A live broadcast will begin with the writing of the final letters of the Sefer Torah and continue throughout the evening. At the farbrengen of 15th Menachem Av 5746, several days before the completion of the second Sefer Torah, the Rebbe asked that “every chossid should take part in the completion, with his soul, his body, and his resources.”
