Gothamist is reporting that five Torah scrolls were stolen from a synagogue in Borough Park. The shul seems to think this is an inside job, as the Rabbi is out of the country, a window was left open and the safe containing the scrolls was left unlocked; regardless, here are the 3 people we think could have done the deed:
1. The Hamburglar, now a Ba’al Teshuva, has given up cheeseburgers; instead, he scours the city under the cover of dark pilfering religious relics.
2. Sick of their signature "Tora! Toro!" cry only attracting Jews, the International Union of Bullfighters has taken it upon themselves to rid the world of Torah scrolls.
3. Orthodox women, sick of being denied the right to be ordained as Rabbis, have decided that if they can’t have the Torah, no one can!
A formidable share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing a bit of analysis on this. And he the truth is bought me breakfast because I discovered it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat! But yeah Thnkx for spending the time to debate this, I feel strongly about it and love reading more on this topic. If doable, as you turn into expertise, would you thoughts updating your weblog with more details? It’s extremely helpful for me. Massive thumb up for this weblog submit!
