The process of creating a Torah (or restoring it) is *incredibly* labor-intensive. My synagogue growing up restored one once and we had to bring in an outside scribe to manually rewrite individual letters with special ink and writing implements. We do not mass-produce Torahs, and we never have.

speaking as a frequent solo traveler (and as such, the only person responsible for my bags), why do airport bathroom stall doors always open inward? it makes the logistics so much harder

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.
