Hillel@Stanford Half-Century Community Torah Scroll Writing and Bagel Brunch

Did you know a new Torah scroll requires about a year to complete plus another month for meticulous inspections and assembly? Join us for a unique opportunity to see the writing of our Community Torah and learn more about the process of producing a kosher scroll.

The 613th commandment (mitzvah) says that each of us should write a Torah. Helping to create our Community Torah enables all of us to fulfill this very meaningful mitzvah in a personal way and to connect with our precious Jewish heritage. If you're interested in dedicating a verse or having a special session with Torah Scribe Rabbi Pincus, please contact Jeremy Ragent at jragent@stanford.edu.
