The Collection of Torah scroll cases from Syria includes Torah scroll cases, two of which are smaller, for the handling of children. The cases were brought from Syria by Rabbi Avraham Hamra - chief rabbi of the Syrian Jewish community, who sat in Damascus at the time. Unlike other items brought by Jewish immigrants to Israel during the twentieth century, the dates of the cases are known for certain and therefore, can be a basis for researching and examining Syrian Torah cases documented all around the country. The rabbi brought over one hundred cases, and a small number of them was brought to the National Library for safe keeping.
