idea of a living genizah, so the timing was perfect,” Fine said. Zachary worked with an architect to design the genizah and raised all the money to cover the materials needed to build and install it. Rabbi Kantor dedicated the genizah and indicated the importance of books, past and present, particularly to the Jewish people. Even though the life or usefulness of a book is limited, the knowledge contained therein continues in the minds of those who have read or studied that book. The first book that was carefully placed in the genizah by Zachary was a bible from the 1800s. Many of Zachary’s fellow scouts and their parents helped in installing the genizah along with B’nai Moshe members. B’nai Moshe is extremely proud and grateful for Zachary’s wonderful Eagle Scout project.
