Hebrew Voices #181 – The Woman Who Writes Torah Scrolls: Part 1
In this episode of Hebrew Voices, The Woman Who Writes Torah Scrolls, Nehemia joins Avielah Barclay, the first female Jewish scribe in modern times. They discuss why Judaism clings to such ancient technology, how writing with the proper intent is just as important as the correct content, and erasing mistakes in accordance with a variety of Jewish traditions.
I look forward to reading your comments!
