As two Cherry Hill, NJ, synagogues unified into a single congregation, The Lubetkin Media Companies coordinated video production for a documentary depicting the historic march of five Torah scrolls from the campus of the former Congregation M’kor Shalom to the new home of the combined Congregation Kol Ami in the former campus of Temple Emanuel, at the corner of Springdale Road and Kresson Avenue.
After a closing ceremony at the Evesham Road campus of Congregation M’kor Shalom, more than 200 members of the synagogue took turns carrying the five scrolls, containing the five Books of Moses, about 2.5 miles from the M’kor Shalom building.
Along the way, members of other synagogues, cantors, rabbis, and well-wishers greeted the marchers.
You can watch the complete video including ceremonies at both synagogue buildings and interviews with Congregation Kol Ami clergy, leaders and members, in the player below.
