Sofer Rabbi Naftaly Friedman, steeped in tradition

Friedman is one of a few hundred sofers in America and a handful in Rockland County

Friedman’s life for the past 20 years has been dedicated to doing just that and more. As a sofer — or Hebrew scribe — he reverently writes or restores mezuzot, Torahs and other holy documents so the important pieces of Jewish life are kept in kosher condition as the religion requires.

A special computer program that verifies accuracy revealed no mistakes of his scribes, there wasn’t a single grammatic change it’s very rare, not one letter was wrong. not one letter was off.
