UK - London - Stamford Hill Jewish Community - Torah

When a new Sefer Torah (five books of Moses) is completed after years of work it is carried in a big community parade to synagogue. Rabbis and leaders young and old from the Ashkenazi Nitra group take it turns to carry the decorated scrolls to their Shul on Clapton Common, Stamford Hill. Members of the community touch and kiss the scrolls as they pass.
