A Visit from Soferet Avielah Barclay: Kehillat Nashira's Torah

This week, we were honoured to welcome Soferet Avielah Barclay, who visited to inspect our newly arrived Sefer Torah. With quiet care, she repaired a small tear in its seam — a quiet moment of craftsmanship and devotion.

Just before her bat mitzvah lesson with Rabbi Miriam, student Liora paused to catch a glimpse of Avielah at work. She was captivated by the special calligraphic layout of Shirat Hayam, the Song at the Sea — a visual and spiritual highlight of the Torah.

Every moment with our new Sefer Torah deepens our connection to its journey and meaning.
