A gift from David J. Azrieli in honor of Teddy Kolleks ninetieth birthday, this small (23 cm-high) Torah scroll is accompanied by elaborate finials, a shield, and a pointer made by the silversmith Johann Friedrich Ehe in Nuremberg. Together with a matching ark inlaid with silver plaques and engraved with biblical texts, the scroll and its ornaments are displayed alongside Torah sets from other Jewish communities around the world.
