Bring a scribe in for community programming
Most Jews have never seen how a Torah scroll is made or repaired. We kiss it, dance with it, read from it... but rarely do we touch the process behind it. Bringing a soferet into your community transforms sacred objects from finished products into living craft.
The Kedusha Project offers immersive, intergenerational workshops designed for communities that value tradition, inclusion, and hands-on learning. Participants don’t just watch--we make parchment, ink, quills, and sinew thread, which will be used to make and repair real Torah scrolls. We will work with you to understand your community's needs and curate workshops and sessions for you.
Programs might be structured as:
A one-off text study or workshop when our scholar is in your area
A Shabbat scholar weekend
A multi-session adult education series
A religious school intensive
A hands-on retreat or conference workshop
A Torah repair demonstration built around your own scroll
We tailor content for all ages, and we love when children and adults enrich one another's learning experiences!
Our approach is pluralistic and welcoming. We work comfortably in egalitarian spaces, teaching halakhah with intellectual honesty and without gatekeeping. We are committed to ethical sourcing, sustainability, and expanding who gets to see themselves in sacred craft.
Most importantly: the work is real. This is not “Torah-themed arts and crafts.” When we make ink, it is usable ink. When we spin gid, it is real sinew thread. When we examine your scroll, we are doing actual assessment. Participants can contribute to tangible outcomes that remain in the community.
If interested, please send us an email. We will respond promptly.
