About
Since 2005, Chabad of the Lower East Side has been a warm, welcoming presence in the historic neighborhood where Jewish immigrant life first took root in NYC. Led by Rabbi Yisroel and Chani and their six children, our Essex Street center has become a home for Jews of all backgrounds — through Shabbat dinners, holiday celebrations, women's events, Kiddush, and classes that keep Jewish life thriving here.

Each letter is of equal value. Even if one of them is missing, flawed, or incomplete, the scroll is not a Torah scroll.
Alter a single letter and the meaning of a word is changed, whereby a sentence is inverted, whereby a story is distorted—indeed, every other letter of the Torah...
