From stretching deer skins in their backyards to training in their living rooms when no schools will teach them, these women are fighting for the ultimate reward: the chance to sit alone in a room and write Torah. That’s How You Make A Torah is a short documentary that profiles female scribes and explores how they are embracing this ancient tradition with a modern twist.
