They sell Torahs to synagogues claiming they’ve been rescued from the Holocaust. But now Save A Torah Inc. has promised Maryland officials not to make those claims unless they have independent verification to prove it.
The group signed an agreement on July 8 that said claims they made about the origins of some Torahs would be modified.
Save A Torah was featured in a Washington Post article earlier this year. In it doubts were raised about the origins of the Torahs co-founder Rabbi Menachem Youlus claimed were from the Holocaust.
The group released a statement on their website saying they commissioned an investigation which found “no evidence to contradict any information” told to Torah purchasers about the origins of their Torahs.
