How is the Torah made? An authentic Torah scroll is an amazing masterpiece of labour and skill. It uses between 62 and 84 sheets of parchment It contains exactly 304,805 letters, The resulting handwritten scroll takes many months to complete. A Torah scroll may only be written on parchment from the skin of a kosher animal Only black ink is acceptable. Ink of any other colour is not kosher for a Torah scroll.

The scribe writes with a feather pen or reed pen, filling its tip from the ink. An iron pen is not proper for two reasons: 1. It may puncture the parchment. 2.  Iron is often used to make weapons of death and destruction, both of which oppose the intent of the Torah.

The Scribe To become a scribe requires rigorous study and training- and great skill. The scribe may not rely on his memory, but must copy the letters, word by word, from a kosher Torah scroll or a copy of a certified Kosher scroll.

Torah Scroll Facts A Torah Scroll is the holiest book within Judaism, made up of the five books of Moses. There are 304,805 letters in a Torah Scroll. Each page has 42 lines. The Torah Scroll must be written by a specially trained pious scribe called a sofer. It takes about a year to write an entire Torah Scroll. Even a single missing or misshapen letter invalidates the entire Sefer Torah.
