My Story
I grew up surrounded by ink, parchment, and quill. My father—a G-d-fearing and dedicated sofer STaM—would sit for hours, writing with holiness and precision. I would sit beside him, mesmerized as sacred letters slowly emerged on the parchment.
When I was a small child, he once let me try to write a letter. It came out crooked, but my heart pounded with excitement. In that moment, I felt as though I had touched something holy.
As I grew older, I took the art of STaM seriously—studying the halachot, mastering the fine details, and connecting deeply to the soul within every tag (crown). More than anything, I came to understand that every letter is part of an eternal covenant between the Jewish people and Hashem. This isn’t just writing; it’s life itself.
Over time, my work expanded into Torah scroll sales and services, where I combine meticulous craftsmanship, halachic dedication, and personal guidance for clients in Israel and around the world. I’ve had the privilege of helping families, communities, synagogues, and even combat soldiers—bringing Torah scrolls into operational army units, moments of remembrance, and deeply moving spiritual experiences.
I believe that a Sefer Torah is more than a halachic document; it is a sacred mission. Every piece of parchment tells a story. And every step of the process is a journey—from the bet of Bereishit to the lamed of le’einei kol Yisrael.
Every scroll tells a story. This is mine.
Letter by Letter A Story of Life
From the very first moment the idea arose to write a Torah scroll in memory of Yossi Hershkowitz, may God avenge his blood, it was clear this would not be just another scroll. This would be a story—a story of a soul. Yossi was a young man with a heart full of love: love for the land, love for the Torah, love for the people. When he fell, a great light fell with him, and for a moment it felt as if the world had gone dark. But we refused to let that light be extinguished. We chose to rekindle it—one letter at a time. Torah by Torah. New life born from pain.
I sat down to write. My hand trembled. My heart pounded. Every letter became a prayer. Every movement of the quill, a cry of longing. As I wrote, Yossi was with me. I could almost see him standing beside me, smiling that pure smile of his—the one that always said, “It’ll be okay.”
People came to join in the writing: religious and secular, soldiers and bereaved mothers, children with tears in their eyes. Each person wrote a letter and felt part of it, as if Yossi himself were there. Because in truth, he was.
And then the final word was completed. I set the quill down, closed my eyes, and whispered, “Yossi, we haven’t forgotten. You live among us. In this scroll. In this Torah. In this love.” Just then, Yossi’s voice filled the room—his song, strong and full of faith.
I believe that a Sefer Torah is more than a halachic document - it is a sacred mission.
Writing a Torah Scroll
Withh a unique and wonderful privilege, I had the honor of leading the writing of letters in a beautifully crafted Torah scroll, during an event held in an atmosphere of holiness, unity, and pure Jewish joy. Each and every letter was written with sanctity and intention, as dear Jews from all walks of life gathered around the table – connected to tradition, values, and the powerful essence of the Torah.
Among those honored to take part in this uplifting occasion was businessman Yitzhak Mirilashvili, one of the owners of Channel 14, who humbly and respectfully joined in writing a letter – a personal expression of faith, belonging, and responsibility across generations. Eliyahu Yossian also took part in this lofty mitzvah, holding a sacred quill in his hand and deep emotion in his heart.
For me, as a Torah scribe (sofer STaM), there is nothing more moving than accompanying fellow Jews in writing a letter in a Torah scroll. To see their eyes sparkle, their sincere excitement, the quiet tear that rolls down – this is a mission I carry with pride, with a deep belief in the power of every single letter to sanctify, connect, and uplift.
The event was accompanied by singing, words of Torah, and dancing – but above all, it was a living expression of the eternity of the Jewish people. Each letter is a link in an unbreakable golden chain, and every participant is a partner in a magnificent endeavor of heaven and earth.
