The Kedusha Roadshow
The Kedusha Roadshow will provide an immersive experience for Jewish communities in the creative sanctity of the scribal arts. Community members will learn the laws and traditions of writing Torah scrolls, mezuzot, and related objects, interact with artifacts from the various stages of production, spin sinew thread, and produce scribal ink for Torah repair. Our scribes will explore the intersections of these ancient crafts with contemporary values. Community members will have an opportunity to purchase mezuzot and tefillin produced from roadkill in an egalitarian framework.
The team will work with each community to tailor the curriculum with extra classes, direct member involvement in repair of the community’s Torah scrolls, etc.
The Oklahoma Esther
The Oklahoma Esther is the first scroll of Esther to be written in Oklahoma and was created as a gift to Kibbutz Be’eri who lost their Megillat Esther and Torah scrolls to a fire on October 7. Over 60 Oklahomans worked on this project, making the parchment and writing the letters, to create this truly egalitarian scroll in time for the megillah to make it to Kibbutz Be’eri members by Purim.
