Ultra Orthodox Jewish men take part in a burial ceremony of the burnt remains of Torah scrolls in Bnei Brak, Israel. The scrolls were damaged in a fire at a synagogue over the Sukkot holiday. According to Jewish law and custom, Torah scrolls that can no longer be used must be buried in a full funeral ceremony.
