The 7th Yeria - All Done!

The seventh yeria is all done ! Everything went pretty much as expected – no real surprises.

You may notice that the writing looks  closer in some sections here that it has in previous yerios.  This is because this yeria contains a preponderance of yeser lines (lines that have more letters in them than they are intended to accommodate – see Monday’s post for more info…)

This sheet covers a lot of significant events in the Torah.  Avraham, following the passing of Sarah, orders his servant to seek out a wife for his son, Yitzchok.   Yitzchok Marries, and has children of his own: Yaakov and Eisav.   The yeria ends with Eisav spurning his birthright.

Checking, Fixing, Tagging...

Long night of checking the 7th yeria, doing some corrections, and adding in taggim where needed to wrap it up.   By tomorrow afternoon the entire 7th yeria should be done and I will post some pics.

The Second part of the post in the Tikkun is still forth coming – check back tomorrow for more!

A big yasher koach (”More power to you!”) to Mr. Nathan Bradbury and Family for sponsoring Sunday’s writing! Attached below is a picture of the section completed as per their sponsorship: the bottom 21 lines of column 25, which covers Eliezer’s taking of Rivkah as a wife for Yitzchok.

As always, we appreciate your sponsorship and support in this important and meaningful endeavor. For more information on sponsorship opportunities, click HERE.

Check back tomorrow for a fascinating look into the Tikkun ha-Soferim…

The Fifth Yeria & Columns 16 to 19

The fifth yeria is done and the the sixth is well under way as I type – There was a few days down-time this week as I awaited a new shipment of klaf (parchment).   I mostly used the time to proofread what had been written so far and to clean up a few passages.   Enjoy these pics, and check back soon!

Today’s writing went exceptionally well as I transcribed the exodus of Lot and his family from the doomed cities of Sodom, Amora, and its other condemned neighbors.

The humidity was excellent and I didn’t have to do any fiddling with the kulmus (quill) to keep it on track.

Please enjoy these photos, and check back tomorrow for the complete column…
