Yesterday we had the opportunity to go to a Hachnasat Sefer Torah at the Shul in Florence. It was a very nice experience. The shul had a choir, and many members of the community were there. I think I found it particulary nice, because we had just returned from visiting the Shul in Siena. The community in Siena is extremely small, so it was quite a change to be in a big shul with such large group of people.
