How the Shaarey Zedek Obtained the Czech Torah Scroll
Czech Torah Scroll (Holocaust Scroll Trust) Memorial Scroll
Trust: #1483
By Mel Lazareck about his mother, Anna Lazareck (Updated April
Following the death of my father in 1976, my mother spent her winters in Los Angeles at which time she volunteered at the Skirball Jewish Museum.
Having an Orthodox background, fluency in Hebrew, and a degree in anthropology, she was well suited for many of the museums projects.
One of these projects centered around interpreting and identifying Torah binders. These binders served as the wrapping of the Torah scrolls and, as was the custom in Europe, the binders portrayed by illustration and word the life cycle events of that particular community.
She was intrigued by the stories the binders told. Tracing the source of the Skirball Museum Torahs to Westminster Synagogue in London, England, she made the acquaintance of the curator Mrs. Ruth Shaffer, the daughter of the Yiddish writer, Sholem Asch.
She learned from Ruth that the real accumulation of Torahs and many other Jewish articles was located at The Jewish Museum in Prague, Czechoslovakia, which was opened in 1906. 210,000 items were
2022)
shipped to the museum during the war from communities in Bohemia and Moravia. Nothing was sent to Prague from other countries.
The Prague Museum came into being as a result of the Nazi Germany directive to accumulate Jewish religious articles in order to establish a museum for the “former” Jewish race. The government of Czechoslovakia ended up with a large accumulation as the majority of these religious articles from destroyed synagogues throughout Europe were sent to Prague. Thus the Jewish Museum of Prague came into existence. In 1963 the Czech Government offered the scrolls for sale and Ralph Yablon gave the money so that 1564 Torah and other scrolls were brought to London in 1964. Nearly 500 binders/wimples came with the scrolls. There was only one transaction, not many over several years.
My mother wished to visit Prague, and through business associates in that region, I arranged for her to spend several weeks there in the late 1970’s. During her stay, she worked on identifying and translating a variety of these artifacts.
She made many new friends whom I had the opportunity to meet when we stopped over on a trip to Israel (mother, my son Adam and myself) and spent a few days in Prague (1985).
Following her original stay in Prague, she wanted our community to have a connection with an article from the former Jewish communities in Europe. She arranged to acquire under the term “permanent loan” from the Westminster Synagogue in London, a Torah that came from a Czech the town of Slany in the Bohemia region where Jews lived since the 14th century. Apparently the Czech government would not allow any items to be moved from the State Jewish Museum. However, the Westminster Synagogue had a lot of influential former Czechs now living in London, as members. These members managed over the years to obtain some articles and, fortunately for my mother, they were prepared to provide a Torah for our synagogue on “permanent loan”.
Regardless, the Torah, which at one point was dedicated at our synagogue, became known as the Holocaust Torah and is used for Yizkor.
We received this Torah in 1981. I believe she had some input on the Torah cover, and possibly the crown and/or pointer adorning it. At the end of the photos is a picture of the Torah cover and the dedication information.
As a matter of general interest, my mother and her family lived for a while at the synagogue located at the time on Dagmar Street. She was born in the basement of the synagogue on Simchas Torah.

Psalm 144:3-4
Yizkor Service
God, what is a human being?
Yet you notice us.
What is a person? Yet you think of us.
Humanity is like a breath, our days like a passing shadow.
Psalm 90:6 In the morning, it blossoms and sprouts, but in the evening it wilts and shrivels.
Psalm 90:12 Teach us to use each day, to bring our hearts to wisdom.
Psalm 37:37 Guard the perfect, and watch over the upright, for that person’s end is peace.
Psalm 49:16 Surely God will save my soul from the clutches of She’ol, for God will take me in. Selah.
Psalm 73:26 My own energy and courage failed, but my heart’s strength and my portion, is God—forever!
Eccles. 12:7 Dust returns to the earth as it was before, while the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Adonai, mah adam vateda’ehu, ben enosh vat’chashvehu?
Adam lahevel damah; yamav ketzel over.
Baboker yatzitz vechalaf, la’erev yemolel veyavesh. Limnot yameinu ken hoda, venavi levav chochmah.
Shemor tam ure’eh yashar ki acharit le’ish shalom.
Ach Elohim yifdeh nafshi miyad She’ol, ki yikacheni. Selah.
Kalah she’eri ulevavi, tzur levavi vechelki
Elohim le’olam.
Veyashov he’afar el ha’aretz keshehayah, veharu’ach tashuv el haElohim asher netanah.
Psalm. 8:5-6 I wonder how you could notice one person or acknowledge a human being. Yet you made them only a little less than God and crowned them with glory and splendour.
Psalm 16:8-9 I have always set God before me and can’t be swayed from my purpose. So my heart is glad, my honour content, my flesh will dwell in safety.
Psalm 103:15-17 A mortal’s days are like grass, sprouting just like the vegetation in a field, but a wind passes through it, and it’s gone without a trace of its existence.
But God’s kindness comes from before time; it lasts forever for those who fear God; God’s righteousness continues for generations.
Mah enosh ki tizkerenu
uven adam ki tifkedenu
Vatechasrehu me’at me’Elohim, vechavod vehadar te’atrehu.
Shiviti Adonai lenegdi tamid
ki mimini bal emot.
Lachen samach libi, vayagel kevodi; af besari yishkon lavetach.
Enosh kechatzir yamav; ketzitz hasadeh, ken yatzitz.
Ki ru’ach avrah bo, ve’einenu, velo yakirenu od mekomo.
Vechesed Adonai me’olam; ve’ad olam al yere’av; vetzidkato livnei vanim.

The Memorial Prayer

The Service of Unveiling
The service consists of a reading to set the mood, the “unveiling” of the headstone, a time to reflect on the deceased or to say a few words, the memorial prayer, and the Mourner’s Kaddish. While it can be performed alone or with a few people, a minyan is preferable.
1. Select one or more readings, either from the unveiling booklet, or from any other source that you find meaningful, to be read aloud in English or in Hebrew.
2. Write the name of the deceased into the blanks in the text, where appropriate.
3. Designate who will remove the cover.
4. You may wish to have everyone just reflect silently, on what the deceased meant to them. You may also wish to have someone say a few words by way of eulogy.
5. Designate who will read the inscription from the stone.
In former times, the inscription on the headstone was an elaborate tribute to the virtues of the occupant of the grave. Nowadays simplicity is preferred: Contemporary inscriptions generally include no more than the Hebrew and English names of the deceased, and the date of the death according to the Jewish and secular calendars.
The top of the headstone generally bears the letters נ"פ , standing for po niqbar or po nitman: “here lies,” and at the bottom, the letters 'ה'ב'צ'נ'ת, standing for tehi nishmato/a tserura bitsror hachaiyim : “may his/ her soul be bound up in the bond of life.”
The use of tombstones is an ancient custom, dating back to biblical times: “ And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave.”
It has become our custom to consecrate the tombstone with a service. Since the tombstone is covered with a cloth, which is removed by the family during the service, the ritual has come to be known as the unveiling.
While the unveiling usually takes place twelve months after the death, because of the harshness of our winters, unveilings are often scheduled during the summer months.
While anyone may officiate at an unveiling, it is preferable for the family to conduct this ritual, as the basis for this service flows from the custom of visiting the grave of one’s family on the day of their Yahrzeit. Officiating at the unveiling offers an additional opportunity for the family to pay tribute to the deceased as well as to speak to the living about the meaning of life and death.
The unveiling may be led entirely in English, or in a mixture of English and Hebrew.
Psalm 23
We begin our service with a reading from the Book of Psalms
A psalm of David.
The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing
He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me to water in places of repose; He renews my life; He guides me in right paths as befits His name. Though I walk through a valley of deepest darkness I fear no harm, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff they comfort me.
You spread a table for me in full view of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my drink is abundant. Only goodness and kindness shall pursue me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell In the house of the Lord for many long years

Removing the Cover From the Stone
We invite the immediate family to prepare to remove the cover
A thousand years, in the presence of the Eternal One, are but a day; the years of our life, a passing hour. Life has been given and life has been taken, and through it all we praise God ’s name.
We have been pained by the void created with __________’s passing. Yet love is as strong as death. The bonds created by love are eternal. And ours is the blessing of memory, through which the lives of our departed continue to be with us.
In the name of __________’ s family and friends, we consecrate this monument, as an expression of our love and respect.
We invite the family to now remove the cover from the stone.
Once the cover has been removed, the inscription is read aloud.
The letters at the bottom of the stone,
'ה'ב'צ'נ'ת
are read out as follows:
For a male:
te-hi nish -ma-to tse-ru-ra bits -ror ha-cha -yim
May his soul be bound up in the bond of life.
For a female:
te-hi nish -ma-tah tse-ru-ra bits-ror ha -cha-yim
May her soul be bound up in the bond of life.
And let us say: Amen.

Conclusion of the Unveiling
We conclude this ceremony with a time -honoured tradition. Whenever we visit the cemetery, we leave a token of our presence. We find a little stone, perhaps to remind us of God —so often referred to as Tzur Yisrael , the Rock of Israel and place it upon the monument. We thus express our prayer that __________ find perfect peace within the eternal embrace of God, who continues to love the people Israel, in death as in life.

Information about the 2025 commemoration will be announced in the Spring.
This annual service is a commemoration of the systematic persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators. We also remember other groups who were persecuted or targeted for genocide, including the Roma, the disabled, political opponents, Poles and other Slavic people, Soviet prisoners of war, Jehovah’s Witnesses, gay men, some members of the clergy, and others.
Brought to you by Congregation Shaarey Zedek in partnership with the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada
