Title: NYPD Returns 8 Stolen Torah Scrolls [Nice Picture Included]
Post by: schrodinger's cat on September 16, 2008, 02:28:37 PM

11:35AM EST: At the start of this years annual “High Holiday” meeting conducted at 1 Police Plaza in NYC, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly publicly returned the eight Sifrei Torah which were recently stolen from a Synagogue in Queens.

As the meeting started, Commissioner Kelly had police officers proudly carry out the 8 Sifrei Torah onto the stage - and returned to the members of the Shul - amidst much cheering from the hundreds of Jewish Community Activists and NYPD Brass.

A detailed report about this mornings meeting, along with photos will be posted shortly.

Why would someone steal them?

Probably for the money they can sell them
