Sefer Torah

A Sefer Torah is a handwritten scroll containing the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, considered the most sacred text in Judaism. Crafted meticulously by skilled scribes called soferim, it is written on kosher parchment with respectful care. The scroll is used in religious rituals, such as synagogue services, where it is unrolled and read aloud to the congregation. The Sefer Torah symbolizes divine revelation and the enduring connection between God and the Jewish people. Its careful preservation and respectful treatment reflect its profound spiritual significance in Jewish life and worship.
