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.

STUDENTIM

בס"ד
19 Sh'vat

I'll be speaking at the WIRED conference over the weekend. I'm privileged to be part of a panel discussion on "Kol Isha - uncovering Feminist voices in Judaism" with Andrea Silverstone. I'm really looking forward to it. Jewish students are the bomb. & I always learn from the people I teach, so barukh Ha-Shem...

...& there'll be nargilot :D

Being students, I'm sure a large share of the political chit-chat will be about Bush, Cheney & his unfortunate hunting partner. We should all pray for his full recovery.

Have a beautiful Shabbes!
