“One of the beautiful things you can see in Hong Kong when it comes to a celebration or events is a sense of harmony and unity,” says Shay Ratzon, an Israeli who moved to Hong Kong in the year 2000 for business and attended the rededication ceremony last month.
Referring to the expansive history of the Zion-Abram ancestors and the many challenges they faced while helping myriads of Jews throughout Asia and the Middle East, Ratzon said: “You see the central value of Judaism, and the importance of a Sefer Torah in maintaining that central value. Regardless of the difficulties one faces, we can all come together as one.”
Jason Weber, who attended the ceremony with his wife, Dina, said “we were moved to see the Zion family rekindle their family legacy in the city in which they now live, perpetuating the memory of their ancestors and the Jewish people’s priceless inheritance, the Torah.”
