Most U.S. Judaica sources import scrolls from Israeli scribes.

I think this was an ingenious method to get around the requirement that the money has to be spent in the U.S.

If it went to some poor scribes and their families, that is better than new shoes for Aliza Olmert or sex toys for Haim Ramon.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

My brother is a sofer in Jerusalem. He sells almost everything he makes to a rabbi in the US east coast, who then resells them. I'm sure that he's not alone in doing this.

Aw-mein!
