Have you ever wondered how a Torah Scroll is created? How every single letter is written on the parchment precisely? What is inside a pair of Tefillin? What is the significance of the Mezzuzah and how is it written? What does it take to be a Sofer STaM (scribe)? What is the significance to the initials STaM? This is what the Studio Tour is all about. Journey to Moshe Braun’s studio and take a Behind the Scenes Sofer Tour and learn all about the fascinating world of Sofrut (scribal arts).  

The Sofer Tour is a natural outgrowth of years of interaction with people yearning to understand the answers to the above.

Participants will be treated to in-depth explanations and demonstrations on how Torah Scrolls, Tefillin, Mezzuzot and Megillot are created. Differences between Ashkenazic and Sefardic writing styles will be shown. How the Sirtut, lines on the parchment, are made. How a Sofer fashions a feather pen. See a demonstration on how a Sofer writes on actual parchment and get a chance to try it yourself, and much more!
