Linda is stretching out deer skins in her backyard. Jen is sharpening her blade. Their quest? To take on the sacred craft of scribing Torah. Men have been scribing Torahs since 3 BCE, but the first Torah written by a woman only happened in 2007! In this lovely documentary short, meet two of the first known female scribes in history, discover the social and physical obstacles that they overcame to achieve this goal, and how their wisdom and Torah affect the filmmaker personally.
