The Torah is made with parchment of kosher animal skins.

  1. The Torah-scroll must be written by a specially trained pious and knowledgeable scribe called a sofer.
  2. The scroll is written on parchment by hand, in Hebrew calligraphy with precise shapes for the letters. This takes about six months to a year.
  3. The ink is prepared in a traditional manner; and inexactly-written letters must be rewritten before the scroll may be read from.
