We all know how important it is to have a kosher Sefer Torah for all Torah readings. But not every organization can afford to buy a brand new one. And even if you can, those funds may be desperately needed to fulfil some of your other functions. The solution, of course, is to buy a pre-owned Sefer Torah — provided you can be sure it really is kosher, and that your bal Korei won’t be sending you to the sofer for repairs every week.  That’s why we’re very pleased to be able to list this beautiful Torah for sale.

While other merchants offer a ‘one-year warranty’ to cover you in the event you discover an error in your Torah scroll that they missed, we guarantee there are no errors.

We’re very happy to assure you that this secondhand Sefer Torah is indeed 100% kosher. Our highly experienced and certified Sofer STaM, Rabbi Melech Micheals, has computer scanned the text to ensure all the panels are sewn in the correct order and that there are no misspellings or missing letters. He’s also manually scrutinized the text and can confirm that none of the letters are cracked or faded. In fact, this kosher Torah features crisp, dark text and Rabbi Micheals said “this is the best used Sefer Torah I’ve ever seen”, which is high praise given how long he’s been checking Sifrei Torah.

The parchment is in excellent condition, so you won’t find yourself seeking regular repairs. There are a few minor marks and areas where the parchment is a rumpled or wrinkled, but none of these invalidate the Torah or make it difficult to read. We encourage you to view the photos on this page to see the marks for yourself.

And on the subject of quality, we’ve replaced the old rollers with brand new, dark wood rollers from Hirshkowitz Eitz Chaim Judaica. These rollers look amazing and will last a lifetime. They’re valued at $400, but they’re included in the total price for this Sefer Torah.
