For many years now, I use my spare time to research Safrut throughout the ages and also for writing as a Sofer Stam (currently busy with my own Sefer Torah). Here you will find revealing articles about this ancient art and you will also keep track of my progress.

My Progress #2 - Another Pitum Haketoret
After my first work, I had to write a second Pitum Haketoret because my father needed one. The hand-writing is much nicer and finer than the first one, but I had to correct a few mistakes here and there, so there's minor scrapping. And I commited the capital sin of a Sofer - I accidentaly dropped water on it, which causes irreversable damage. Luckily, it fell in the bottom of the Klaf and I just cut it off.
Like the first, this one is big - 42 lines, just like a Sefer Torah. Most people have pocket-sized Pitum Haketoret today, since it's easier to carry, but I much prefer it big. The rabbis say that it's a very big Segula for Parnassah to say this every day, so I figured that the bigger the Pitum Haketoret is the more $ you will get!
yk, i'm so proud of you! it looks great !! make one for us too... beijos... tg
