Would you like to know how to care for Torah scrolls, so they would last for hundreds of years?

Do you know there are specific things you can do to care for our Torah scrolls?

 

We are fortunate to have Rabbi Druin, a sofer from Sofer-on-Site to cover these and other questions regarding caring for our Torah scrolls.
