Moshe Braun Sofer STaM Studio Tour

Have you ever wondered how a Torah Scroll is created? How every single letter written on the parchment is done in such a precise way? What is inside a pair of Tefillin and what does it take to create them? What is the significance of a Mezzuzah and how is it written? What does it take to be a Sofer STaM (scribe) and how is it done? What is the significance to the initials STaM? This is what the Studio Tour is all about. Journey to Moshe Braun's studio and take a "Behind the Scenes" tour and learn all about the fascinating world of Sofrut (scribal arts).

The Studio Tour is a great way to learn the answers to the questions above and have an enjoyable family experience in Israel. This is a great idea for a Bar Mitzva tour.
