Mr. Tzion Duar of San Paula Brazil donated a Sefer Torah to Poriah Hospital in Tiveria. He traveled to Israel and visited the hospital with his delegation for the special event.

Emotions were running high on Thursday, 7 Menachem Av when the event took place, with the donor explaining “HKBH sent me to the place that is in need of a Sefer Torah”.

Hospital Director Dr. Erez Onn stated “In the name of the entire tzibur, employees of the hospital, the patients and visitors, we thank and bless the donor for his huge mitzvah and we remain hopeful that in the near future we will begin the construction of a permanent home for the shul, which will provide a fitting resting place for the Torah and a venue for mispallalim. I thank you and invite you to visit us again and see the new shul”.

Rabbi Eliyahu Kramer, the Chabad Shaliach who made the shidduch between the hospital and donor added his words of praise, adding the donation is significant for now mispallalim in the shul will have a Sefer Torah in the hospital.

Rav Kramer pointed out that while the Sefer was given on Thursday, the actual merriment was on hold until after the Nine Days.
