Shabbat Morning, March 1, 9:00am - The Font of Revelation: Evolution of Hebrew Scripts
Torah script, called Ashurit, did not exist at the time tradition places the revelation of Torah at Sinai. The earliest Hebrew scripts are actually unrecognizable to Hebrew readers today. This class explores the development of Hebrew scripts, from pictograph to alphabet, as well as how the rabbis of the Talmud dealt with the historical conundrum of the holy script.
 

Sunday, March 2, 12:30pm - Lunch and Program: Inside the Scribe's Studio: How Torah Scrolls Are Made
What is sacred writing, and what goes into the making of a Torah scroll? Learn about the process of sacred writing, including the material elements such as ink, parchment, writing instruments, and letter formation, as well as the more spiritual elements, such as kavana - intention. Participants will have the opportunity to look inside a Torah scroll and experience it from a whole new perspective.
