The Sifre Torah will be accepted by the Hon. Elihu Elath, Ambassador of the State of Israel to the United States. All members of the Tiphereth Israel Congregation will present the Sifre Torali in a special ceremony to members of Hapoel Hamizrachi of Pittsburgh as representatives of Hapoel Hamizrachi in Israel. This public presentation of the Sifre Torah will be made to the following colonies of Hapoel Hamizrachi: Achdut, Bamishor, Hazorim, Alrna, Kfar Darorn, Mechora, Kiryat Shmuel, Moriah, Tirat Zvi, and Techiyah, and to the Children's Village at Ra’anana.
