I received the following request through my Cantor. I would be interested in obtaining a copy of this video myself, if one is to be had anywhere. Our congregation happens to own one of those Czech Torahs. Anybody have any ideas?

It was titled "The Odyssey of the Torah Scrolls". It was about all the Czech Torahs arriving at Westminister Synagogue, the history before they were sent to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />London, then what occurred while they were at Westminister Synagogue. Copies of the documentary were sold in the 1970s as videocassettes.My congregants called JTS who told them that they have one remaining copy of this videotape and that it is in too poor of a condition to lend out.We were wondering if any of your congregational libraries might have a copy of this hard to find videotape. I would appreciate it if you could look into this for us. You can e-mail me privately at: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for your help!
