Những cuộn sách Torah sống sót sau thời Đức Quốc xã giờ đây đã thúc đẩy đức tin trên toàn thế giới

-----

Since the Congregation (giáo đoàn) Bonai Shalom in Boulder, Colo., was founded in 1981, one of its several Torahs has been taken from the ark (hòm) each Sabbath, and on other holy days, and read to members of the congregation.

In August, another, particularly special Torah arrived at the temple, one of some 1,400 scrolls whose survival during the Holocaust has inspired Jewish congregations around the world. Confiscated (tịch thu) by the Nazis (đức quốc xã) as they purged (thanh trừng) synagogues (giáo đường) and communities throughout Bohemia and Moravia, the Torah scrolls were shipped to the Jewish Museum in Prague.

The scrolls were rescued from Prague years after World War II and have become part of a sprawling inventory of faith administered (quản lý) by a London trust that loans the Torahs out to synagogues, universities, hospitals and other institutions (tổ chức) in 25 countries.
