Torah Repair and Scribal Services
Rabbi Steph is a soferet, a Hebrew scribe trained in sofrut STaM. Sofrut STaM is the practice of writing and caring for sacred texts - Sifrei Torah (books of Torah), tefillin, and mezuzot - in accordance with Jewish law. Rabbi Steph trained with Izzy Pludwinski and Dr. Jen Taylor Friedman during her rabbinical training.
Torah scrolls require regular care and maintenance to remain kosher for ritual use. Contract Rabbi Steph for inspection and repair work.
