Torah Scrolls
Kosher Sepher Torahs, sephardi and Askenazi, available for personal use, Bible exhibition or congregations.
http://www.scrolls.tv

Extractions: WELCOME TO THE TORAH SCROLL PAGE The most sacred Jewish ritual object is the Torah Scroll, the Five Books of Moses inscribed by hand on the specially prepared skin of a kosher animal. Torah scrolls are not written on paper but parchment which is animal skin and written by hand with a quail and ink. It takes 6 months to a year to write a torah scroll, although some scribes write significantly faster and others much more slowly. . There are two types of scrolls Ashkenazi and sephardi the difference is mainly in the style of the writing. In the Ashkenazi tradition the scribe writes with a quill on parchment; the Sefardi scribe uses a reed to write on parchment or leather. For example, there is a Sefardi scroll, whose material is fine golden-hued skin, and it fulfills the Talmudic injunction that a Torah Scroll be written in good ink with a fine pen by an expert sofer [scribe]. Nothing is permitted on the scroll other than the biblical text, written without the vowel points. It is therefore difficult to ascertain the date or place of its fashioning.

THE NAHMANS OF GERONA
History, language, and culture of one sephardi family.
http://home.earthlink.net/~bnahman/FAMHX9.htm

Extractions: A Brief Introduction To Our History I do not think that anyone can properly go into any subject, let alone that of one's historical roots without laying a foundation of the events that would help in understanding and getting a feel for the period in which they happened. We Nahmans, proceeding from the oft told oral history handed down through the generations from father to son, were the recipients of that history from our father Haim Joseph Nahman. That we were skeptical is an understatement but he was adamant and urged us to further inquiry. This is a humble compiling of what I have learned. The history of our people, the Sephardim, was told to us in bits and pieces. No books were read to us about that history but the pride in our heritage was imparted. Now there are books we can read. Who Are The Sephardim? There are a number of studies and more are continuing. Much of the history was lost due to the confiscation and/or burning of the literary works of the Jews of Spain before, during and after their expulsion from their homeland in 1492. Some documents are being uncovered on an ongoing basis at Cathedral archives in Spain.(
