How to Make a Torah

Director of Photography

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. How To Make A Torah is a short documentary that profiles female scribes and explores how they are embracing this ancient tradition with a modern twist.
