	Hundreds of “halachot” -- Jewish laws -- govern the details of “Sofrut” -- the craft of ritually writing Jewish parchments and scrolls. These laws dictate which materials must be used, the way that the scribe shapes each letter, the type of quill and ink to be used and in the case of Torah scrolls the scribe will ritually immerse in a “mikve” -- a ritual bath -- before beginning the day’s writing.

	The laws that direct Jews to place meuzzahs on their doorposts derive from Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Deuteronomy 11:13. The laws relating to tefillin come from Deuteronomy 6:8, Exodus 13:1-10, Exodus 13:11-16 and Deuteronomy 11:13-21. God commands Jews to participate in writing a Torah scroll in Deuteronomy 31:19. Throughout the millennium sages, rabbis commentators and scholars have expanded on these verses in setting down detailed instructions that provide directions of how to carry out these Torah laws. The Stam Center offers visitors the opportunity to learn, through interactive experiences, how scribes follow these laws in producing scrolls and parchments for ritual objects.
