This is the sixth year that Yad L'Achim is holding a raffle for a Torah scroll for donors to save Jewish women and children from Arab villages and to combat the scourge of the Christian mission. In the last lottery, held every year on the 13th of Nisan - the eve of Passover, the Circos family from Kiryat Malachi won.

The raffle was held under the supervision of two accountants and with the participation of activists from Yad L'Achim, who compiled the names of the donors who entered the annual raffle.

Excitement rose when the winners' names appeared on the computer screen and Rabbi Segal - a senior lecturer at Yad Laachim - was honored to call them and announce their win.

Rabbi Segal began the exciting phone call with the Circos family by announcing that he was happy to be the bearer of good news and to inform them of their winning of the Torah scroll.

The father of the family, Rabbi Yaakov Tsirkos, who received the phone call, thanked God and excitedly blessed the blessing of "the good and the beneficent," while at the same time spontaneous singing of "Siman Tov and Mazel Tov" bursts out from the mouths of the people of Yad L'Achim, while Rabbi Tsirkos joins them on the other end of the line.

At the end of the poem, the winner said that ever since he heard about the lottery, he had always hoped to win a Torah scroll, as someone who has donated to Yad Laachim for many years by direct deposit, and he was delighted to receive the phone call announcing his win.

 At the same time, Rabbi Cirkus excitedly announced that the Torah scroll would be brought with great pomp and splendor to the synagogue of the Ground Forces Headquarters, located near his residence in Kiryat Malachi, where he works year-round to bring Jews closer together.

""I have always had a dream of bringing a Torah scroll. With God's help, I will bring it into a place that will bring the hearts of Israel closer to our Father in Heaven," he said.
