The Torah is the most sacred item in the Judaic faith. Pictured here is the sanctuary at Beth El's Mequon location, which housed the Torah's when not in use. The final image is of the Torah the congregation had commissioned just for them. The sound recording is of past Beth El President, Al Simon, discussing the process of a scribe and congregation creating a Torah and a long-lasting legacy.
