Men have been scribing Torah since 3 BCE but finally in 2007, Jen Taylor Friedman became the first woman known in history to scribe a Torah. In this documentary short, being featured in the Boston Jewish Film Festival, meet Taylor Friedman and fellow trailblazing scribe Rabbi Linda Motzkin, learn about the obstacles they overcame to achieve this dream, and, as a Jewish woman, how their work affects the filmmaker personally.
At this screening, join director Lauren Greenhall and Soferet Rachel Jackson for a Q&A and discussion around the themes of the film, as well as the history and future of female and non-traditional scribes.
