A special bais din appointed new members to the board of trustees that is officially in charge of the ancient Keter Aram Tzuva Torah scroll presumably used by the Rambam when he wrote hilchos Sefer Torah in Yad Hachazokah. Most of the former members have passed away.
Headed by Professor Ayal Jino of the Ben Tzvi Institute, the new board includes Chief Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef, Hebrew University President Professor Menachem Ben-Sasson, Rav Yaakov Yedid, a leader of the Aleppo community in Brooklyn, and Rav Avraham Dayan of the Aleppo community in Sao Paolo.
Syria’s Aleppo community guarded the sefer for centuries before it was smuggled to Israel in 1958, by which time major parts of it were lost.
