Carrying Sefer Torah #2 at Kol Nidrei (West Thornhill YK)

Current bid: $180.00

Opening of theArk

  • It is very meritorious for one to open the ark and take out the Torah Scrolls that are carried around the congregation, any time the Torah is read, and particularly so on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year.
  • As the awesome and holy day of Yom Kippur begins and the Torah is taken out for the heart-stirring prayer of Kol Nidrei, the congregation lovingly kisses the Torahs and in the spirit of Yom Kippur, mentally confesses their sins and asks the Al-mighty for forgiveness. This display of love for the Torah is considered a virtue for the congregants.

Holding the Torah Scrolls

  • The one who receives this honour, together with the Chazzan and other Torah holder, become theĀ Bais Din, the Jewish court, dispensing forgiveness to the Jewish People. What a meaningful way to start off Yom Kippur, to be part of this righteous Bais Din.
