The dedication of a Torah scroll last year at Borman Hall planted the seed for the Siyum Ha-Torah Project for ?es or passages which tie in- to family names or incidents. The 17 adult women who will celebrate their b'not mitzvah on Sunday, the first day of Shavuot, are dedicating the first verse of the Ten Commandments in the new sefer Torah, and Rab- bi Groner will talk about the project on the second day of the holiday. The synagogue's confirma- tion class is dedicating a verse and its senior citizens group was shown "Let's Talk Torah" last week. "This has been really special for Shaarey Zedek," said Dottie Wagner. "It is not your normal handful of people working on a project. Everyone is getting involved."
