FJMC International Sefer Haftarah Chair Lawrence Nathanson recently announced that there are limited dedication opportunities available for you to dedicate a Haftarot in the FJMC Haftarah scroll.
“Most have already been dedicated, but there are a few that have not. The dedication can be by a Men’s Club, a congregation, or even an individual or family, and the inscription can be in English, Hebrew, or both. The cost of a dedication is $1,000, and you should contact the FJMC’s office at: international@fjmc.org for further information.“
The FJMC Sefer Haftarah Scroll contains a collection of every Haftarah read during the year, including those from holidays and Rosh Chodesh. The Haftarot are scripted by a sofer on a parchment scroll in the same manner as a Torah. In fact, when rolled up and covered by its mantle, the Haftarah scroll looks exactly like a Torah scroll but not as thick. But unlike a Torah, the Haftarah scroll contains vowels and the trop. In addition, there are dedications of the various Haftarot in English and Hebrew. Since it was first unveiled during the 2003 FJMC Biennial Convention in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, the FJMC Sefer Haftarah scroll has travelled around North America to Men’s Clubs and Brotherhoods, to regional retreats and to FJMC conventions., visiting synagogues from West Coast to East Coast, from Florida to Canada. At services, it is treated very much like a Torah. It is housed in the Ark, undressed and redressed like a Torah, and carried around the congregation in the Torah procession.
