  • Read from your own Megilah scroll on Purim.
  • The perfect gift to mark a milestone: Bar/Bat Mitzvah; Graduation; Wedding; significant birthday, job promotion; retirement.
  • Synagogues: All five Megilot scrolls are available.  Qualified Soferim write all products with meticulous care.
The Megilat Esther (Scroll of Esther) does not contain the name of G-d, and therefore is not subject to the same rigidity of halacha (Jewish law) as Torah, Tefillin and Mezuzah.  However, in order to say a bracha (blessing) over the reading of the Scroll of Esther at the Purim Festival, the Sofer (Scribe) must not only have written the letters correctly, he must also possess Yirat Shomayim (fear of heaven).  The Sofer is writing more than an account of the Jews of Shushan in the days of King Achashverosh.  He is writing about a hidden miracle where the Jews were saved from certain genocide by a string of ‘coincidences’.  Hidden miracles are the highest level of miracles, and therefore the Sofer is transmitting a message first recorded by Mordecai: G-d’s concealment is plainly obvious throughout the Megilah!”
