JenGiove,
I've seen both printed Torahs and hand written ones. The hand written ones are very expensive as they require a lot of time to be done as well as stringent requirements for "clearance" by a comittee to ensure consistency.
Thank you for the information....I bet the finished works is beautiful to see...
I've read so many misconceptions about what Jews believe and don't believe, about what is mainstream practice versus cult behavior that I take everything with a grain of salt. You've seen how many times I've had to refute people claiming what Jews practice because they found some sort of propaganda on the web. (someone tried to tell me once that Jews eat babies, that they drink blood, and that they deflower their own daughters....all using youtube videos of old talk shows and anti-semetic websites produced by white supremacists)
wow...ya learn summin' new everyday...eat babies huh? Those must be the ones who live in the south where I live and have "Kid sale 9/11" posted on the sign at the local fairgrounds...

...by understanding the difference between what they truly practice and believe vs. what is posted online. It's hard to take anyone seriously when they lack a fundamental understanding of your beliefs and try to use propaganda to convince you that your system of belief is flawed. It just makes us look ignorant and superstitious.
hmmmmmmmm.....now where have I heard this before, lemme think.....
Sister Shy...you are such a lovely person.
