Sitting by Eric's side, readers learn how a sofer (scribe) makes mezuzot, tefillin and a Torah scroll. Eric discusses materials, shares a recipe for kosher ink, and discusses some of the techniques a sofer uses. He also introduces the Hebrew letter forms and offers some spiritual insights into the rewarding job of being a Hebrew scribe.

Through this educational and delightful book, we learn to love the Torah and other ritual objects a little bit more.
