Rabbi Bec Richman, our soferet (scribe), will share with us words of Torah on Shabbat morning in her talk, “Torah in Her Hands,” at the end of the Torah service.

Join us after kiddush, about 1:15 pm, for a guided exploration of the practical and spiritual laws and guidelines that govern and orient a scribe’s work. We will learn all about the practical bits of scribing and repairing sacred texts. What is parchment made of? What can you write with? What do you need to do in preparation for writing? What are the rules of writing? What happens when you inevitably make a mistake? What is the relationship between the mind and the body in scribing an ancient, sacred, living text? Come to explore these questions and more together with Rabbi Bec.
