The reader will be intrigued and amazed by the real-life experiences of a sofer (scribe) and the many aspects and tools involved in writing a Sefer Torah. Rabbi Maimon Elbaz of Torah Shows studied safrus and went to Jerusalem to become certified as a Jewish scribe. Share his journey - you, too, will gain an awareness of the intricacies of STaM. Additionally, you'll be able to visualize the beauty and richness of the holy Torah and all that it represents to our nation. "I would like to commend Rabbi Elbaz on his outstanding work on the Sefer Torah and the mitzvah of its reading. He invested enormous amounts of time, talent, and resources into producing a true work of art." Hagaon Harav Aharon Feldman Rosh Yeshivas Ner Yisroel, Baltimore "This beautiful sefer is filled with wonderful pictures and illustrations which are extremely helpful in clarifying and helping to understand many concepts of the very detailed halachos and inyanim, and organized in a beautiful and easy-to-understand fashion. This sefer will bring benefit and blessing to young and old." Hagaon Harav Noach Isaac Oelbaum Congregation Nachlas Yitzchok, Kew Gardens, NY "According to Rabbi Elbaz, there is a need to awaken the younger generation concerning the importance and beauty of ספרות with the hope of attracting more young men to the sacred task. Stated simply, the Torah world needs many more סופרים. This resource will almost assuredly achieve the goal of kindling interest in ספרות, in the beautiful world of the ספר תורה and other כתבי קודש. I found the work to be much more than edifying and elevating; I found the work to be positively inspiring, as I am sure others will, as well."
