The Art of Torah

Sunday, January 25, 2026 • 7 Shevat 5786

12:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Join Rabbi Bec as she shares her journey to becoming a Torah scribe, as well as what goes into writing and maintaining a Torah scroll, both practically and spiritually.

We will take a look at some of our own Torah scrolls, have a chance to hold scribing tools, witness Rabbi Bec cut and use a quill, and participate in a writing workshop to get a feel for the letters in written form. No matter your experience with writing or creative expression, this workshop will open up Torah in a new dimension. Advance registration is required. See below.
