Inauguration Ceremony for a Synagogue and Mezuzah Affixing at Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem
There are operational projects measured by timelines, budgets, and deliverables. And there are projects that begin as professional assignments and evolve into something far more meaningful.
As part of the ongoing collaboration with officials at the Ministry, during one of the site visits the team was presented with four Torah scrolls, each originating from a different part of the world. One of the scrolls, it was revealed, is approximately 300 years old.
For Vered Balisha, Site Manager at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Avi Buzaglo, Project Manager in the Maintenance Division at Electra FM, this encounter became a turning point. It led to the decision to establish a synagogue to house Torah scrolls that had arrived from various communities worldwide, some of which had not previously had a permanent home.
