Last Wednesday evening, June 24, 2009, at the home of Rabbi Avrohom Bloomenstiel, Congregation Toras Chaim began the writing of what will be our first sefer Torah. Rabbi Bloomenstiel  (below) describes the custom of having a small L’Chaim in celebration of the beginning of the writing.

Watch the video of Rabbi Bloomenstiel write the first letter of the Torah.
