Fellow performer Erez Yechiel provided the musical accompaniment as attendees recited the "Shema Yisrael" prayer, one of Judaism's most sacred declarations of faith. The dedication of a new Torah scroll is considered one of the highest forms of tribute in Jewish tradition, symbolizing continuity and remembrance of those who have passed.
