Are they damaged beyond repair?
It’s a sign.
Swings: Sign of what?? After 3 or 4 days of non-stop weather forecasts across all the media in the NYC metro area predicting heavy rains and flooding, why did they not move these sifrei torah from an aron in a below-grade basement area being used as a shul? Kol hakovod to the Hatzalah members who went into the flooded area. I’m not a sofer but the damage for at least some of the scrolls looks extensive and beyond repair.
The first one was apparently the “unity Sefer Torah” ;(
this was the unity sefer torah that was dedicated in honor of hatzoloh.. see story on colive
One is the Seifer Torah Hamoifsi that was written by Chevra Hatzoloh after Covid. R”l Hashem Yishmor
