A collection of Jewish ritual objects smuggled out of Syria and then restored in Israel were displayed in Jerusalem on Tuesday at the residence of Israeli President Moshe Katsav. The objects, including nine biblical manuscripts and 40 Torah scrolls, will eventually be returned to the Syrian Jewish community in Israel. The manuscripts were restored in a library at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
