The massive blaze at the Poile Zedek Shul has left nine Sifrei Torah destroyed, as well as hundreds of Seforim, TLS has learned.
The blaze occurred on Erev Shabbos last month and completely destroyed the historic Shul. Only one Sefer Torah was saved.
The Sifrei Torah and Seforim will be buried on Sunday November 22, 11 AM.
The Levaya will leave from 145 Neilson St, New Brunswick, NJ, and arrive at the Poile Zedek Cemetery, 650 Joyce Kilmer Avenue.
A donation page was set up to try and raise enough funds to repair the Shul. Donations can also be made by sending a check to: Congregation Poile Zedek, PO Box 166, New Brunswick, NJ 08903.
“V’acheichem, Kol Bais Yisroel Yivku Es Ha’sreifa Asher Saraf Hashem.”
