Lakewood: Thieves Make Second Attempt To Steal Sifrei Torah


ak.jpgYeshivaworld reported last week (HERE) about a robbery at Rav Ingber’s Shul (Birchas Yaakov) – which is located on Martin Luther King Drive – in which a small safe containing Neviim on Klaf and Megillah was stolen. The thieves had attempted to steal the Sifrei Torah, but were B”H unsuccessful.

Unfortuantly, the thieves struck again last night – but were B”H once again unsuccessful in stealing the Sifrei Torah. The safe was found lying on the floor this morning, with the wooden Aron Kodesh (surrounding the safe) broken in pieces.

The Ocean County Sheriff Department, and Lakewood Police are investigating the incidents.

As YW wrote last week: “This should be taken as a wake-up call to the many small Shuls in Lakewood – and across the globe – to properly secure their safes to the ground.”

  1. “As YW wrote last week: “This should be taken as a wake-up call to the many small Shuls in Lakewood – and across the globe – to properly secure their safes to the ground.”

    Also, it should be a message to all to secure their doors and windows!

  2. last year we had a robbery in our shul and they tried to open the aron kodesh because by the christians they keep their money there so they think we also keep our money there. i dont think they want the sifrei torah
