Subscriptions and Commissions

I

Student תַּלְמִיד

A single mezuzah, or a small Hebrew calligraphy of a verse you have been carrying for a long time, written by hand on parchment. The patron's name and the date of writing are recorded in the workshop ledger.

II

Scribe סוֹפֵר

A ketubah each season, or, by the patron's election, a quarterly illuminated Hebrew calligraphy commission of a verse, a psalm, or a passage of the parshah. Each piece on parchment, in any of the workshop's hands.

III

Sofer Stam סוֹפֵר סָתָ"ם

A Sefer-Torah-grade text each month, in the parshah portion of the patron's choice, written under the standards of the certifying tradition. The cadence is suited to a household assembling a complete scroll over the years, or to a study hall building a working library.

Av ha-Sofrim אַב הַסּוֹפְרִים

Begin this subscription

Pricing depends on the size of the parchment, the complexity of the script, the gilding and inscription work, never on hours. The atelier prefers correspondence by post; an inquiry by the form on the contact page is also acceptable. Subscriptions may be paused for a season without forfeit.

Other commissions

The atelier also accepts iconography commissions from the parish communities of the Old City. Panel size, the canon followed, gilding, and the inscription on the reverse are agreed in correspondence. These commissions are quoted individually and are not part of the subscription cadences above; please write to the atelier by post or by the form on the contact page.
