Universal Torah Registry
The Universal Torah Registry is a recent project established by the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of New York designed to protect and secure Jewish Torah scrolls from theft. As these scrolls may be valued at about $20,000 and could fetch similar amounts on the black market, synagogues have been a target of thieves.
