The 613th mitzvah (precept) of the Torah is to write a Torah Scroll. This Mitzvah is fulfilled when an individual or a group writes, or commissions the writing of, a new Torah; it may be desired by family members in memory of a loved one or by a synagogue congregation as a communal project.

Taking part in this nearly four thousand year old Mitzvah is a celebration of Jewish heritage and a unifying experience. Those who have commissioned a Torah will be updated with progress throughout its writing.

Shown here (above & left) are several pictures of a Torah Scroll written by Jamie Shear in addition to pictures of the Torah’s dedication at Montreal’s Noam Jewish Center.

Torahs come in different sizes (7"- 20"), scripts, and price ranges. Accessories for a Torah (wood rollers, mantle) can also be ordered. For further information, please contact the scribe.
