From the Ashes: How our Czech Torah and over a thousand others were saved and given new life
Congregation Shomrei Torah is honored to be the custodian of one of 1,564 Torah Scrolls rescued from the ashes of Jewish communities destroyed during the Holocaust. The name “Shomrei Torah” translates as “Keeper of Torah,” chosen by the synagogue’s founding families in honor of our Holocaust Torah.
Lois Roman is a Trustee of the MST, and serves as the US Representative based on the East Coast. The Memorial Scrolls Trust is a London based non-profit which oversees the legacy of 1,564 Czech Torah scrolls that survived the Shoah. The Trust pushed forward an ongoing mission. We believe these Czech scrolls should be reinstituted in Jewish life as a memorial to the vanished communities which once treasured them. The Memorial Scrolls Trust bears witness to the fulfillment of this hope. Let us teach our children about the world of miracles and let us use the scrolls to remind people about what binds them together everyday.
Lois began her involvement with MST several years ago following a long career on Wall Street as a money manager. She has a degree from Brandeis University and an MBA from Columbia Business School.
