ANTIQUE JUDAICA TORAH FRAGMENTS: THE GIFT OF HERITAGE

"To say that I am speechless is an understatement. Since it is a gift for my nephew on his barmitzvah I should have left it wrapped.  But I couldn’t help myself – I had to have a look, and I ended up just staring at it — I could not take my eyes off it."

There aren't many gifts that have enduring meaning for generations to come. Our collection of ancient and exquisite Torah fragments has been preserved from Torah scrolls that are hundreds of years old. This antique Judaica comes from communities as diverse as North Africa and Asia to pre-holocaust Europe. We were touched by the thought that generations of Jews celebrated their personal and communal events while reading from these very same treasured scrolls.

Jews have been scattered across the globe throughout all of recorded history. The focal point of every community was the Synagogue where Jews would gather to pray and lovingly read from their Sefer Torah – the hand written scroll that contains the Hebrew bible. Many communities were subjected to terrible oppression and today most of these communities have disappeared completely. What remains of these communities are fragments of the Torah scrolls that they honored and handled with love and care for centuries. Each Torah scroll was painstakingly scribed on parchment according to rigorous standards that are thousands of years old. Today, this rare and antique Judaica stands as a testament to the glory of these communities – representing voices from a past that guide us into the future.

Our fragments only come from scrolls that can no longer be used in services. As scrolls age, factors such as heat and humidity may cause minor smudges, cracks in the letters or wearing of the pages. These scrolls can no longer be used and they are traditionally stored away or buried. Our fragments are selected from these scrolls and most are hundreds of years old. They are lovingly framed and preserved in our specially made and hand crafted, museum quality conservation frames.

An antique fragment would assume a position of honor in any home. It will inspire awe and respect for the Torah and all it represents -- our values, history, hopes and beliefs. Each piece comes with a plaque detailing its history, community of origin and bible portion. You can also personalize your antique piece with a special dedication plaque to commemorate any occasion.

Antique Torah fragments are a perfect Bar Mitzvah gift or wedding gift. They are also a rare and unique way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, dedication or any other special occasion. You can select a fragment that has special meaning to you due to its biblical content or the community of origin. You can even select a specific piece to match the Torah portion being read at a Bar Mitzvah, wedding or other occasion.

Give the gift of heritage. A custom-framed, antique Torah fragment will become an instant family heirloom and occupy a treasured place in any home or office.
