A fine set in an attractive contemporary binding Prepared as a model for Scribes writing a Torah Scroll. The text is arranged to conform with Halachic Law relating to Scribal arts. Each pair of facing pages represents one column of the Torah - traditionally 42 lines starting with the letter “Vav.” The “Shira” and “Hazinu” portions are printed on wider leaves and folded, to follow the wider columns necessary in the written Torah
