Scribes are publicly writing a new Torah for the Jewish community in Dresden

Professional scribes Joshua Diaz and Liora Mendez are writing a new Torah for the Jewish community in Dresden. The project began in August 2025 and is expected to continue until August 2027.

The scribes are transcribing the five books using ink and quill on parchment. Each letter must be hand-written according to ancient rules. This public writing process is described as a unique event in Europe.
