A centuries-old Torah that survived the Holocaust, an intense restoration and a new age of antisemitism is finally retiring to a cushy home on the Upper West Side. Hundreds welcomed the more than 300-year-old scroll to the B’nai Jeshurun synagogue on West 88th Street Monday — the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the start of the Holocaust. The piece of history was consecrated in its new home as a reminder of the past as Jewish New Yorkers continue to battle hate crimes.
