Description

Rabbi Kevin Hale has dedicated his life to the 613th Commandment -- the commandment to write a torah scroll. As a sofer, a scribe, Rabbi Hale brings new life to scrolls saved from Czechoslovakia during the Holocaust, many now in Massachusetts. With wisdom and deep reflection on his own path to faith and practice, Rabbi Hale shares the beauty of this ancient sacred craft.
