1:00 PM: INTERACTIVE CALLIGRAPHY WORKSHOP (Open studio-workshop)
Roll your sleeves up and learn, alongside Rabbi Hale, how Jewish ritual scribes write torah scrolls and other sacred texts by hand. There will be lots to see, touch and even—torah ink has a distinctive scent--smell! While trying your hand at quill, ink and parchment, remember: writing even a single letter of torah is a fulfillment of the 613th biblical commandment! No Hebrew knowledge required. An event not to be missed!
