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.

NAKED SIMCHA

בס"ד

9 Elul

I discovered & thoroughly enjoyed The Naked Archaeologist on Vision TV tonight. Looks like crazy Simcha J is at it again. I have a tremendous amount of respect for not only what he does, but how he does it as well. I learned so much about just symbols & letters & pictograms today - & not just Hebrew. It was quite fabulous.

He's the same doc-man who did "Quest for the Lost Tribes" 5 years ago & which I wrote about previously in this blog, but cannot for the life of me find the reference, even using the search option at the top left. :(

I'm SO not computer literate sometimes...
