Congregation Dorshei Emet has commissioned a new Torah; the first one in Canada that will be scribed by a woman. This history-making undertaking will be called Torat Imeinu, and will be a big part of the celebration of our Jubilee Year.
Jen Taylor Friedman is a post-denominational halakhically-observant egalitarian Jewish ritual scribe and scholar. She is notorious for having created Tefillin Barbie, and notable for being the first woman in modern times known to have written a sefer Torah. In 2007, the Forward listed her as a Top 50 Jew. She lives in New York City and teaches aspiring scribes. Dorshei Emet's Torah is her third Torah scroll.
Erm, hem, Part 19 seems to have been exactly the same as Part 18, bit of overenthusiastic copying & pasting there. Normal service will resume tomorrow.
