Portion of Torah parchment

  • AU AU-MTC 161/1
  • Item
  • Before 1920

This portion of a Torah scroll was taken from a synagogue in Jaffa (now part of Tel Aviv) during the riots of 1921. It came into the possession of a Mr and Mrs Shelley, who sent it to their friend Deaconess Sophie Newton. Deaconess Newton used the parchment as an aid to study and prayer during prayer meetings for the Jews, which she had held ever since 1900. Dss Newton gave the parchment to Moore College in 1944 with the exhortation to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6).
The Hebrew text is from the book of Leviticus, including part of chapter 8.

Newton, Sophie Sackville
