The torah covers or mantles enrobe the scrolls covered with the hand scribed hebrew words on parchment paper. What gives me goosebumps is that every year on the same day of the Jewish calendar, no matter where in the world you are located, we are all reading the same portion of the torah in the same language of Hebrew. (As an aside, the Jewish calendar is a lunisolar calendar. The current year is 5771 and it starts with Rosh Hashanah which takes place in September or October.)
Cheryl, so often a photo doesn't do justice to the genuine article, but in this case, it truly does! Your Torah covers are just magnificent!! Each is so different and simply beautiful. I didn't realize they were silk dupioni, what a great fabric choice. Can you give us more info on the actual photo details? How this was shot and what kind of camera and lighting?
