An Incredible Story of Jewish Continuity

Goldie Avtzon, co-director of Chabad of Hong Kong, echoed that sentiment. “It’s beautiful to see the continuity of this special Torah from one generation to the next, and its journeys before arriving in Hong Kong,” she said.

Rabbi Avtzon agreed. “Here is a situation in which a person is fulfilling a pledge to ancestors not to exchange or forget about a Torah,” said the rabbi. “The fact that their descendants many years later are dedicating the very same Torah that their ancestors dedicated is an incredible story of Jewish continuity.”
