Woods will present a sefer Torah
for use in an Israeli community
at the 10th anniversary banquet
6:30 p.m. Jan. 31 at the center.

Sol Lessman, president of Young
Israel, said that "just as other con-

Young Israel is expected to attend

Recently, the Rabbinical Coun-

sist in the formation of synagogues
in the new Israeli communities by
donating sifre Torah.
