The award-winning mixed-gender Jewish a cappella group at Tufts University. \n\n\n\n· 12:00pm Procession to Hillel with live music \n\n\n\nGranoff Family Hillel Center \n\n\n\n· 12:30pm Welcome and Dedication of Torahs \n\n\n\n· 1:00pm Festive Lunch \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this joyful and historic moment as we welcome these new Torahs into our community. \n\n\n\nTorah Completion and Dedication Ceremony \n\n\n\nA Torah completion and dedication ceremony is a joyful and rare moment in the life of a Jewish community. It marks the creation of a new Torah scroll—a sacred\, painstakingly hand-written text—and its formal welcome into communal life. This is a once-in-a-generation occasion that celebrates continuity\, devotion\, and the enduring chain of Jewish learning and practice. \n\n\n\nWhat is a Torah Scroll?\n\n\n\nA Sefer Torah is the handwritten scroll containing the Five Books of Moses. Each scroll is crafted with extraordinary care: \n\n\n\n· Handwritten by a trained ritual scribe (Sofer) using a quill and special ink. \n\n\n\n· Inscribed on parchment prepared from kosher animal hide. \n\n\n\n· Meticulously formed\, with every letter written according to precise laws. Any error can invalidate the scroll until corrected. \n\n\n\nFor a Jewish community\, a Torah scroll is not simply a ritual object. It is a symbol of continuity\, identity\, and sacred obligation\, linking past generations to the present and future. To welcome a new Torah is to affirm the life of the community and its commitment to the Jewish future. \n\n\n\nWhat to Expect at the Ceremony\n\n\n\nA Torah completion and dedication typically includes four key components: \n\n\n\n1. Completing the Scroll\n\n\n\nA Sofer writes the final letters of the Torah with community members gathered around. Witnessing the last strokes brings the scroll to life as a fully sanctified Torah. Immediately after completion: \n\n\n\n· The finished scroll is raised aloft. \n\n\n\n· It is dressed in a beautiful mantle\, specially designed for this moment. \n\n\n\n2. Dancing the Torah to the Synagogue (Hillel)\n\n\n\nThe newly completed Torah is carried in a joyful procession beneath a wedding canopy (chuppah)\, symbolizing its marriage to the community. Accompanied by live music and spirited dancing\, participants take turns holding the Torah as it is brought to Hillel. \n\n\n\n3. Reception and Blessings\n\n\n\nUpon arriving at the synagogue (Hillel)\, the new Torah is greeted by the community’s existing Torah scrolls. More dancing follows\, along with special prayers and blessings. Finally\, the new and older Torahs are placed together inside the Ark\, symbolizing unity and continuity. \n\n\n\n4. Festive Meal\n\n\n\nThe celebration concludes with a communal meal\, filled with joy\, gratitude\, and the shared uplift of welcoming a new Torah into the community’s life. \n\n\n\nThis ceremony weaves together tradition\, celebration\, and deep meaning\, honoring the sacred text at the heart of Jewish life and the community that will carry it forward. \n\n\n\nRegister now

Sign up for a premade Seder Plate via SMS (see graphic above). \n\n\n\nWhat if I missed the deadline to sign up!? \n\n\n\nWalk-ins: \n\n\n\nIf you sign up in advance via SMS your meal is guaranteed. \n\n\n\nSeders and meals are only open to Tufts students\, faculty and staff.
