A unique Torah scroll was dedicated this week at the Shuvu Boys High School in Jerusalem, in memory of a mother and son who were killed in a Palestinian terrorist bus bombing in Jerusalem last November. The Torah scroll, which has not been used for 80 years, was one of some 90 that were recently given to Israel by the Lithuanian government. Vladimir Sharshevsky, whose son Michael and wife Ella were felled by the bomb, together with nine others, took part in the joyous ceremony on Tuesday. Michael was a student at the school, which largely services the Russian immigrant population, and his classmates joined in the ceremony.
