Mordechai Pinchas
Sofer STa"M - Jewish scribe, artist and author

This website has been designed to give an overview of the important mitsvah of sofrut,  the Jewish scribal arts, and of the personal, and occasionally humorous, journey of a sofer, a Jewish scribe.  There are eight main sections including the activities a sofer gets up to (Torah, Tefillin, Mezuzot, Megillot, Gittin etc.), the tools of the trade, drawing the otiyot ( letters), diaries of scribal adventures, books and educational resources and the otiyot m'shunot (oddities/strange letters). Explore them all.

In my scribal practice, I tend to use my Hebrew name Mordechai but in my freelance marketing, graphic design and academic life, I tend to be known by my English name, Marc Michaels. Click to view my academic publications CV.


The website has new stuff every so often but for other updates, there's a companion page on facebook also updated regularly and also lots of great books from my publishing imprint  Kulmus Publishing.


After 20 + years of my 'old low res dial up' site, I'm still in the process of rebuilding, so not every page is up. I'm also taking the chance to edit and renew imagery and add some new diaries. So if you click on  page that's not there yet, you know why. If you want me to prioritise a page in the rebuild drop me a line.


I hope you enjoy the site and learn some Torah here.
