<strong>THE</strong> LIGHT FLARES UP AGAIN When Jerusalem was destroyed by the barbaric soldiers of the Roman legions, the holy city and the temple were ravaged, the eternal light of the Torah went out. Jewish faith was already considered dead by the pagan world when all of a sudden the light of the Torah flared up again. Jewish life resurrected in Yavne and the sacred Torah found a new home to declare the victory of the divine idea. History repeated itself. Our beloved community was destroyed by cruel hands. Jewish life came to an end in Pápa: there was no temple, no Jewish school, no yeshiva left. Out of divine grace, however, we had the privilege of witnessing the mystery of resurrection. The Pápa community was resurrected in Williamsburg in New York City. A newly-built grand temple, a huge yeshiva building, and a girls' yeshiva for 600 students all prove the fact that the light of Torah, which was shining in Pápa for 250 years, flared up again declaring that the memory of the Pápa community was not only preserved, but had turned into a living reality. The inscription "Pápa" can be seen not only on the facade of the yeshiva; it is on the huge bus as well. The Pápa Yeshiva in Brooklyn 126
Not only does the New World bear witness to the love of Torah by Pápa Jews but Pápa Jews in Israel and around the world have all stayed loyal to the spirit of their upbringing. The son of dayan Dirnfeld from Pápa became rosh yeshiva for the Belzer chassidim in Jerusalem, Rabbi Lőwinger who had earlier served as a rabbi in Pápa became the rabbi of Har Tzion, Rabbi Imre Kraus served as a rabbi in a Los Angeles district, the grandson of chief chazan Lőwy from Pápa worked as a chazan in a London district, and David Baum, the son of Uncle Baum, the knowledgable secretary of the Pápa Chevra Kadisha worked as a chazan in the orthodox community of Baltimore.
