The irony is not lost on me

The photo on the front page of the October 17-23, 2008 Manhattan Jewish Sentinel is captioned "Young girls attend a create-a-Torah workshop at the Yeshiva University Museum in New York City to prepare for the Simchat Torah holiday." I can't help thinking that the make-believe Torah scrolls that the yeshiva-uniformed girls are holding may well be the only Torah scrolls they'll ever touch in their lives.
