Cleaning up their biblical language

More than 30 congregants of Temple Am Echad took part in restoring a 150-year-old Torah under the guidance of scribe Neil Yerman, who oversaw see the cleaning session at the Lynbrook synagogue on March 1. Yerman is charged with reconditioning the Torah. When restored, it will be the only Torah unique to the temple.
Yerman dispensed what was called by temple members as “fascinating information,” about mysticism in the Torah and the development of the language and how it relates to modern day Hebrew.
The restoration has been an ongoing project and has given many the chance to fulfill the 613th commandment, “Writing just one world in a Torah is as if writing the whole Torah.”
