Orange, Calif. | May 09, 2008 12:01:13 AM IST
A Torah smuggled out of Lithuania before World War II has been installed in the interfaith center at a California university, its donors say. The Torah was donated to Chapman University by Barry and Donna Goldfarb of Los Angeles, whose daughter is a student at the school, The Orange County Register reported. It was carried across campus under a chuppah, or canopy, before being placed in a handmade ark Tuesday night at the Fish Interfaith Center. The Goldfarb family and Holocaust survivors escorted the Torah, which was wrapped in a prayer shawl. The school hopes to acquire historic editions of the Bible and Koran for the Interfaith Center. The Torah was created in the 1920s in Lithuania. (UPI)
