Members of the United Hebrew Congregation were invited to a Sefer Torah dedication in memory of Naomi Pearlman, by her husband Chaim, son Sam, and his wife Gillian.
The Sefer Torah, originally from the Beth Hamedresh Synagogue, Sunderland, had been restored by Chaim and Sam Pearlman. Chaim and Naomi Pearlman moved to Newcastle after the closure of the Sunderland shul several years ago.
