My Journey to Become a Sofer – Part 7 – My New Teacher

I had finally found someone who it seemed would be able to help me in learning the necessary material to become a Sofer! He was a young man – not more than about 32-34 years old. He seemed focused and sincere. I had told him my story and that I was in need of lessons. We began a first lesson where he began by asking me to draw one of the letters of the Aleph Beit. Of course, I had never drawn a letter before (in the correct script) and simply gave it a try. He seemed relatively pleased, though I still wonder what that letter had looked like – all these years on!
