Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

In Romaniote synagogues and in many other North African and Middle Eastern congregations scrolls of the Torah (the Five Books of Moses) are kept in hard cases called tiks, usually of wood covered with metal or leather. When opened, this tik reveals decoration of the Ten Commandments. This is one of the three Torah scrolls at Kehila Kedosha Janina that came from Ioannina. The scroll that was brought for the dedication of the synagogue in 1927 is in the large silver case. In the 1980s four scrolls in tiks were stolen and only two were recovered. One was replaced by the creation of a new scroll sponsored by the synagogue brotherhood. One tik is left empty to remember the scrolls that were lost.
