Torah Letters

Handwritten in Hebrew by a highly trained and skilled scribe, the Torah is most holy and precious.

Each Torah letter contains profound meanings and messages. Sublime mysteries are contained in the vowels and annotations, and in the undefined sea of whiteness surrounding the letters.

It is a Mitzvah to actually write one's own Torah. Sponsoring one letter in a Torah scroll fulfills the commandment.

The Torah Song

"Now, write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the Children of Israel - place it in their mouth, so that this song shall be a witness for Israel."

If a single note is missing in music, it won't sound right. The 600,000 Torah letters correspond to the 600,000 souls who received the Torah at Sinai. One letter missing in the Torah renders it not kosher. If a person fails to make his/her unique contribution to Torah and Israel, then the Jewish "symphony" does not sound right.

BATIM The Inside Story

The Black Tefillin boxes contain small scrolls inscribed with chapters from Exodus and Deuteronomy refering to the Mitzvah of wearing Tefillin. In the head Tefillin they are divided into four scrolls in separate compartments, while all four are inscribed on one scroll in the Hand Tefillin.

MEZUZO~1 Don't Judge a Mezuzah by its Cover!

The essence of a Mezuzah affixed to the doorpost is the inside parchment scroll inscribed with the chapters of "Shma Yisroel." They are generally available in 3 sizes of script: Large, middle and small.
