I really don’t know the ins and outs of being a Torah scribe. It’s very specialized.

I worked very hard and wrote a Shema (under direct instruction) for my front door. That’s about as far as I’ve gotten.

Ok ... I had to look that up.

Judaism 101: Shema

If writing that constitutes hard work ... requiring supervision ...

Writing out the whole Torah is truly an enormous effort.

If you don't mind a bit of curiosity: How long did it take? What technique (paint/carving/other)?
