(Click HERE for photos) On Rosh Chodesh Sivan, a small Sefer Torah was completed and presented as a personal present to HaRav Nosson Tzvi Finkel Shlita, Rosh HaYeshiva of the Mir in Yerushalayim in his house. The Sefer Torah was then accompanied by a large procession that escorted it to its new home in the Mir Beis Medrash. After much dancing, the Sefer Torah was read from, and then placed into the Aron HaKodesh. The event ended with Maariv and then a small Seuda at which many Gedolim were present.

#2 – I used two cameras. For the most part a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III with either a 16-35 f/2.8L or a 24-70 f/2.8L lens attached and a Canon EOS 40D with either a 17-40 f/4L or 70-200 f/2.8L IS lens attached. The lighting consisted if Lumendyne room lights and Speedlite slaves. Glad that you liked them! Gut Shabbos!
Mazal Tov to the Tzadik Hador!
