most new shuls have the sifrei torah locked in a safe but some of the old shuls that were around before safes were in style never upgraded. it was probably one of the older shuls in the old beit shemesh neivghborhood (ecspecially since it’s rare for the newer shuls to have so many sifrei torah)

Fireproof not Arabproof.

Thank Gd, the sifrei torah were returned safely to their shuls. Are the shuls locked at night, and was this a first time incident? Even though Arab labor can be bought for pittance, they should not be employed in Jewish stores, companies or for cleaning service in a makon kodesh. It usually ends up being an inside job – an Arab who is working there is the middle man.

THEIR PUNISHMENT SHOULD BE THAT THEY HAVE TO STRAP THEMSELVES WITH EXPLOSIVES AND DETONATE IT IN RAMALLAH!

I thought all shuls have their Torahs locked in fireproof safes today.
