Description

Jews have been writing down the Torah in scrolls for thousands of years, long after everybody else moved on to books. Making a Torah scroll is a long and complicated task, and scribes take the job very seriously. But what exactly does it take to make a Torah? What kinds of inks do you need, how do you prepare, and what happens if you make a mistake?

How to Write a Torah, written by Torah scribe Jen Taylor Friedman and illustrated by Mat Tonti, is a new and moving introduction to the scribal arts that is suitable for both children and adults.
