Temple Sholom Dedication of Czech Memorial Scroll Program, 1990 (Cincinnati, OH)

April 20 1990

caption:
Through the contribution of Trudy and Werner Coppel to the Memorial Scrolls Trust, the Scroll from the Roudnice Synagogue is now on permanent loan to Temple Sholom. It is presented by the Coppel family in memory of the Coppel and Jonas families who perished in the Holocaust. At each Yom Kippur and Yom HaShoah service in the future, congregation members from several generations will read from it.

The Temple welcomes and appreciates the opportunity and privilege of giving new life and purpose to a Scroll where the community had been extinguished.
