Dear Friend,
At the start of the year, Shaina, a young member of our community was diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, she returned her soul to her heaven on the Unity Shabbos - Parshat Bamidbar.
As this is a Hakhel - Unity year, we are initiating a unity campaign, that the greater community can join in together, in her memory. Shaina's illness brought together thousands in prayer, Torah and mitzvot.
Introducing:
Shaina's Hakhel - Unity Torah
Why a Torah?
The Torah is our most precious item, sustaining the Jewish people throughout history. It tells us that every Jew, regardless of background or knowledge, has an equal share in the Torah and G‑d.
Our Rabbis teach that the communal writing of Torah through each persons individual participation brings unity, protection and healing to the Jewish people. Can there be a more opportune moment for this timely initiative?
Without labels, without differences and regardless of background or affiliation, this Torah will connect us all to each other, one letter at a time, connecting each to a word, a sentence, a paragraph, a portion a book, five books and a Torah connecting each of us as " One people".
Be a part of this unity project and join together to earn the merit of protection by acquiring a portion for yourself, your children or grandchildren, or in honor of a friends or loved one.
Together let's storm the heavens, in memory of Shaina, and beg G‑d to finally send Moshiach where we will be reunited with Shaina and all of our loved ones.!
The 613th final Mitzvah in the Torah is that every Jew write their own Sefer Torah. Our Rabbis have taught that one can fulfill this mitzvah by dedicating a portion or even a letter in Torah.
Letter by letter we can unite to complete something great!
You can dedicate an upcoming Bar/Bat Mitzvah Parsha, your own Parshah, an item to beautify the Torah or a letter.

Sincerely,
Chabad Phoenix
