Sofer Weekend
On February 8–9, Kol Ami is honored to welcome Rabbi Moshe Druin as our Sofer (Torah Scribe), offering our community a rare opportunity to witness Torah restoration as it happens. During his visit, Rabbi Druin will be actively repairing and caring for our sacred Torah scrolls—meticulous, holy work that is usually done quietly and out of sight.
Beginning in February, individuals, families, and groups are invited to participate in this sacred moment through Torah dedication opportunities. Dedications may be made in honor or memory of someone special and include:
A word ($18)
A Torah portion ($180)
An entire book of the Torah ($1800)
Dedications will be recognized on our website and in other meaningful ways. Families might choose to dedicate a child’s b’nei mitzvah portion, a word that holds personal significance, or a full book of Torah. Congregational groups such as WKA or MoKA are also invited to participate.
As part of the sofer visit, we will offer two special community experiences:
Family Encounter
Families who dedicate an entire book of Torah ($1800) are invited to a private, brief meeting with Rabbi Druin. During this encounter, he will learn about your family’s story and connection to Judaism and scribe a unique parchment created just for you—an enduring keepsake of this sacred moment.

Community Discussion
Rabbi Druin will also lead an hour-long presentation open to the entire community, free of charge, offering insight into the spiritual meaning and craftsmanship of the sofer’s work. This program will be generously underwritten to ensure all may attend.

We encourage those interested in making a dedication to do so early, in order to participate in the February Family Encounters during this visit. Together, these dedications help sustain our Torah scrolls while deepening our personal and communal connection to them.
