Prepared as a model for scribes writing a Torah Scroll. The text is arranged to conform with Halachic Law relating to the Scribal arts. Each pair of facing pages represents one column of the Torah - traditionally 42 lines commencing with the letter “Vav.” The “Shira” and “Ha’azinu” portions are printed on wider leaves and here folded, to follow the wider columns necessary in the written Torah.
