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.

GEESE FOR PEACE

This link just in from Jen. This guy is amazing! Major fun tzedaqah opportunity here: not only can you purchase cruelty-free goose feathers to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, you can also view what I consider to be The Perfect Jewsih Life.

I am now going to order my next batch of kulmusim (quills) from him, read his books & fantasize about Joel's & my evil plans to form a Jewish autonamous collective.

ps - I'm also going to insist that my students buy from him as well!

Oh, great - so the word about this is spreading! Thanks - we must all work together to promote Torah consciousness toward animals & the Earth.; 4:10 p.m.
