the class
When you imagine a sofer, a scribe—what do you think of? Is it someone from your community? Often, it is not. This class will have three components: a practical introduction to sofrut (ritual Hebrew calligraphy), and text learning surrounding the traditional laws of sofrut, and discussion about how as individuals and communities, we can make choices that align with our values. This information is often inaccessible, and this class aims to shift the realities of who writes and repairs Torahs by training students to pursue the skills, and understand the issues needed to do our holiest work.
This class will have ASL interpretation by the incredible Leana Tapnack.
Tuesdays 6-7:30pm | March 23, 30, April 6, 13, 20, 27, 2021
Cost: $162+$20 for the kit (purchased separately)
