Torah scrolls
Torah Scrolls are sacred texts in Judaism, containing the first five books of the Hebrew Bible—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Written by hand on parchment in Hebrew, each scroll is meticulously crafted and used in religious ceremonies, particularly during synagogue services. The Torah represents divine teachings and laws, serving as a guide for Jewish life and values. It is traditionally housed in an ornate ark and publicly read during weekly services and Jewish festivals, embodying a central element of Jewish identity and heritage.
