The MST celebrates Jewish life in central Europe

Every week, tens of thousands of people listen to a Czech Torah Scroll being read. Over a thousand communities around the world are remembering the yahrzeit of those who died in the Czech lands during the Shoah. The MST celebrates Jewish life in central Europe, and all because a chance request in Prague that resulted in 1564 scrolls being saved from rotting away in a damp warehouse.


60 in '24

In February 2024 we will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Czech Scrolls arriving in London. We invite you in joining with us in a series of celebratory services and events we are planning to take place around the world, starting on Simchat Torah, 2023. You and your community will have a chance to bring out your Scroll and dance with joy.


Scroll Mitsvah

Your Czech Torah scroll is very special and at least 100 years old. Please consider sponsoring an MST sofer to visit and maintain your scroll so it is ready for the 60th anniversary celebrations.


Scroll Gatherings

Can your community host a Scroll Gathering service for your region? We have had gatherings from 20 to 74 Czech Scrolls participating. I hope to be able to join several communities during the celebratory year.


Celebrate with your Czech Torah Scroll

Let us know of your Scroll celebration plans. We'll help publicise and offer you resource materials.
