Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday wrote the final letters of a Torah scroll dedicated to Israel’s fallen soldiers.

Some of the scrolls were found in the basement of a European synagogue after years of neglect and are still undergoing restoration.

Representatives of bereaved families such as Miriam Peretz, the mother of two slain soldiers, attended Thursday’s event.
