Netivat Sofrut: diary of a Soferet

Adventures of a female sofer learning to heal the world by doing Holy Work...writing a Sefer Torah

נחזיר את השכינה למקומה בצייון ובתבל כלה

"Let us restore the Divine In-Dwelling to Her Place in Zion & infuse Her spirit throughout the whole inhabited world."

So wherever we are, let us bring the Peace of G@d's Presence.

SCRIBAL EVANGELIST As the only living certified Soferet (סופרת - female Jewish ritual scribe) & the first woman to practice sofrut (creation of sacred Hebrew texts) in over 200 years, I feel an obligation to blog about my experiences of The Work. I am also currently researching the foundation of a lost tradtion of women practicing this holy craft. For more on the services I provide, please see Soferet.com; Sofrut Nation. I am now available to engage with students, male or female, wishing to enter into the preliminary stage of learning sofrut. You are welcome to join me on this path.

THE TOPPERMOST OF THE POPPERMOST - NOT!

BS"D

Altho' I have several potentially controversial posts seething beneath my skin these daze (not a typo), they need a little more time to simmer. Instead I will use this post with its obscure Beatles reference to apologise to all you good-natured readers out there who have bothered to comment on my blog & who have not received any responding comment from me. I know this makes me not the most popular kid in the blogosphere, but I trust you understand that my silence is because I am overwhelmed with juggling work, the media & my new husband (not to mention that I'm sponsoring his immigration to Canada, which is a whole other *planet* of burocracy...& I can't believe I'm a Canuck & I can't spell THAT word correctly!). Anyway, I intend to get to them all, so thank you for your patience & please keep reading & commenting!
