Soferet

SCRIBAL EVANGELIST!
Jewish Orthodox Feminist As the only living certified Soferet (female Jewish ritual scribe) & the first woman to practice sofrut (creation of sacred Hebrew texts) in over 200 years, I feel an obligation to blog about my experiences of The Work. I offer you my profile & journey .
Drunk on Judaism I strive to be a radical figure in an orthodox tradition while exemplifying the orthodox tradition and so dismantling both the liberal feminist model of "working within the system" meaning "adopting a male gender role" and the radical feminist model of "damn it all, I'm going to worship a tree".
Holy Letters My fascination with the art of calligraphy stems mainly from my love of the Hebrew Alefbet and my desire to use it as a way to serve G@d and the world. As a Jewish artist, I work with an awareness and respect for Torah, poetry, visual art, and the discipline of lettering. Browse my Flickr page ...
Art The ability to create, to bring ideas, images and materials to interact cohesively and take form as a whole, is a privilege as well as another opportunity to emulate and thereby draw closer to G@d. This bridges the gap between conception and experience. I take great pride and pleasure in finding new ways to express our traditions through my work and in giving shape to an author's words and spirit while adding my own personal vision.
Expansion I am also currently researching the foundation of a lost tradtion of women practicing this holy craft. I am now available to engage with students, male or female, wishing to enter into the preliminary stage of learning sofrut. You are welcome to join me on this path. For more on the services I provide, check Soferet.com , my blog Netivat Sofrut , or my online Sofrut college .
