A Timeless Circle

Writing a Torah is a timeless connection to the past and a key to a Jewish future. At the center of Judaism is the living Torah scroll that helps us navigate the spiral of life. We rally in a joyous circle (hakafot) around the Torah, proclaiming: Am Yisroel Chai.

Mrs. Rochel Leah Schusterman

This Torah is dedicated to Mrs. Rochel Leah Schusterman, of blessed memory. She was a community leader, a teacher to many and a mother to her 11 children. She passed away suddenly at the age of 36 leaving behind a bereft community and a timeless legacy. Mrs. Schusterman, affectionately known as Morah Schusterman by her students, taught by example; focusing on the value of each and every person she came in contact with, affecting them positively and ensuring that the Jewish past has a Jewish future. This Torah is being written in honor of her 30th Yartzeit. The Torah will be hosted by the Harford Chabad Center for Jewish Life led by her youngest son Kushi and his wife Fraida.
