Honoring the Veteran Dayan, RAbbi Yechial Meir HaKohen Katz, the well known Rav who has dedicated himself to everyone in the communtiy and who forms a pivotal leadership role with Tomchei Shabbos, hundreds of people came out to celebrate the donation of a Sefer Torah to his Shul situated on Wilderton corner Barclay, in Outremont.
As roads were closed off through the kind cooperation of the local police force, torches of fire held by young children led the procession of live music and dancing as everyone participated in
this unique opportunity, of watching a Sefer Torah being inducted into a Shul. Leaving the house of the well known Mr. Joseph Weil, who has been in the forefront of communal work in Montreal, the procession made its way through the streets until many Torahs from the shul itself were brought out to greet the new Sefer Torah which would join them in the shul's Aron Kadosh, on a permanent basis.
