This Facebook page belongs to Or Shalom Center, a Jewish religious organization that appears to serve both local Israeli communities and international Jewish communities, particularly in Rome. The main focus of this post is announcing an upcoming reprint of Chumashim (the Five Books of Moses with commentary), which represents a significant logistical and financial undertaking for the organization. The center is preparing to print 1,000 sets of these religious texts, with 600 sets already designated for shipment to Rome, indicating the organization's international reach and commitment to serving diaspora Jewish communities. The remaining 400 sets present a storage challenge for the center, as they describe the books as heavy, bulky, and requiring substantial storage space that they lack. Each set is priced at 100 shekels (approximately $30), with the organization operating on a minimal profit margin of just 2.5 shekels per set, as the printing costs amount to 97.5 shekels per set. The post demonstrates the practical challenges faced by religious organizations in balancing community service with operational constraints. The center is actively seeking synagogues or institutions interested in purchasing these sets, both to serve the community's religious needs and to avoid expensive storage costs. They specifically mention that people who had previously inquired about acquiring Chumashim and were told they were unavailable should now expect availability within a month. The organization provides contact information (phone number 03-6588111, contact person Rachel) for interested parties. This announcement reflects the ongoing efforts within Jewish communities to maintain access to traditional religious texts while dealing with the economic realities of publishing and distribution. The fact that a significant portion is being sent to Rome suggests the center plays an important role in supporting Jewish religious life internationally, while the transparent discussion of costs and logistics shows a grassroots, community-oriented approach to religious resource distribution.
