Study sofrut (the scribal arts)

Our scribes teach classes at all levels in both one-on-one and small-group settings, either in-person or virtually. We've taught rabbis and total newbies, and we always have a wonderful time.

We often teach the following topics:

  • Fundamentals of sofrut

  • Torah repair and maintenance

  • Writing a megillah

  • Writing tefillin and mezuzot

  • Making parchment, ink, pens/quills, or gid (in-person component strongly encouraged)

We're also happy to hear if you are interested in a different topic. If you want to study to become a sofer/et/eh, want to dabble, or are just curious, we'll make it happen! Shoot us an email. We'll respond promptly.

A group of older women and a young man are seated at a table engaging in arts and crafts. The women are wearing red shirts and safety glasses, and the young man, standing behind them, is wearing a brown apron. The table has wooden sticks, scissors, and papers on it. The background shows a window with a view of trees and a yellow wall.
