Text and image from this article at the Contemporary Jewish Museum site:

Starting this October, the Contemporary Jewish Museum will present As It Is Written: Project 304,805, an exhibition centered around a Soferet (a professionally trained female scribe) who, for one year, will meticulously write out the entire text of the Torah, also referred to as the Five Books of Moses, on public view. As she works within the gallery, the Soferet will actively engage in dialogue, answer questions, and share the mysteries and tools of her trade [but not while she's working -jtf]. The Museum will be the first public institution to reveal this process, offering visitors an opportunity to learn about its spiritual and ritual essence while framing it as a profoundly contemporary act.

that's my student whee!
