A raging fire ravaged a Brooklyn synagogue early yesterday, destroying religious artifacts — but not before a firefighter saved its priceless torahs.
The blaze broke out at Congregation Yetev Lev in Williamsburg at 4:40 a.m.
FDNY Battalion Chief James Yakimovich saved the torahs after plucking them from a charred safe inside the building, witnesses said.
No one was hurt.
