Meet the Sofer — Neil Yerman is a sofer — a person who writes and restores Torah scrolls.  In Eng­lish, the Hebrew word sofer is translated as “scribe.”  To become a sofer, a Jewish per­son must master the art of Hebrew calli­graphy, document restoration, and the many rules and traditions governing the writing and restoring of a Torah.  In addi­tion, a sofer must lead a religious life.

Meet the Artist — Sofer Yerman is also an artist who spe­cial­izes in creating one-of-a-kind illustrated documents for life cycle events, creating ketubot for weddings, scrolls for bar and bat mitzvah, and illustrated family trees.
