The Soferet's Apprentice: a reference guide to basic torah repair
This book covers basic maintenance skills that can save your community hundreds of dollars and berakhot levatalah. Written by Jen Taylor Friedman, and published by Binah Design, this is the first ever book written to help communities navigate halachic observance and maintaining the kashrut and integrity of their Torahs while educated community members and providing the knowledge and confidence to care for the sacred objects we own.
Ideally, you would learn this material in conjunction with a teacher; a real sofer's apprenticeship lasts several years. A sofer's apprenticeship takes years because there is so much halakha to learn. If you have not learned the halakha, you MUST work under the supervision of someone who has, or you WILL pasul your Torah. You can quite easily make a sefer pasul by doing the wrong thing. Adding to letters or erasing from letters in the wrong ways can look fine, but be absolutely pasul. This is bad. However, with this book you can learn to prevent some of the more avoidable problems, and help solve some of the easier problems. You'll also learn about avoiding more complex problems.
