The Sefer Torah is the cherished legacy of the Jewish nation. The writing of a Torah Scroll is Mitzvas Taryag-the 613th commandment. Tiferes Stam commissions reputable Sofrim (scribes) in Eretz Yisroel to write Sifrei Torah in all price and size categories. The necessary time span for writing a Sefer Torah is approximately one year. We have countless Sifrei Torah available in various stages of completion to accommodate the needs of those organizations or individuals requiring earlier completion dates. We will oversee the writing project from beginning to end.

All of these Torah Scrolls are written on natural uncoated parchment. All Torah Scrolls are proofread and computer inspected to ensure their quality. We have been writing and coordinating Sefer Torah projects for the past eighteen years and Boruch Hashem recommendations from our satisfied clients have been our greatest source of advertisement and referrals

How Much Should A Sefer Torah Cost?
The price for a new Sefer Torah varies from as low as $25,000.00 to as high as $50,000.00. The penmanship, spacing and consistency of letters will vary from Sofer to Sofer ranging from poor although acceptable, to excellent which would be the most M'hudor. This attractiveness and uniformity of K'sav is a major determining factor in the cost of the Sefer Torah.

The Sofer
The Sofer (scribe), who will be writing your Sefer Torah is the most integral ingredient of the Torah Scroll. The Sofer must be a Yorei Shomayim (G-d fearing) and a person of extreme integrity. He should also be knowledgeable in the halachic (Jewish law) requirements of the Sefer Torah and it's script. Each letter should be properly formed, shaped and properly spaced so that no two letters touch in accordance with the Halacha of Hakofas G'vil. The Sofer should be an expert craftsman as well, for the task of writing a Sefer Torah is difficult and complex.

The Parchment
The parchment, or Klaf as it is called, used for the Sefer Torah, is made from the hides of an animal of the Kosher species. The most preferable quality parchment is Shlil, the hide of the embryo or a newborn calf. The surface of the Klaf should not be coated or glazed. Approximately sixty-two hides are needed for a complete Sefer Torah. The average size of a newly written Sefer Torah is between 17 to 20 inches however, smaller sizes are available.
