About HaSOFER
HaSOFER.com is yet another branch of the multi-faceted "HaSOFER" originally established in Jerusalem in 1982 by Rabbi Moshe Flumenbaum. Rabbi Flumenbaum received his early training and experience as a sofer in New York and New Jersey. He operated a Jewish bookstore in Highland Park, NJ before moving to Israel.
Today HaSOFER is a major, world-renowned source of kosher l'mehadrin mezuzot, tefillin and megillot. HaSOFER also produces its own exclusive lines of fine tallitot and shofars and stocks a large selection of Israeli-made Judaica and Jewish gifts. Customers at our store located in the center of Jerusalem include people like you as well as businesses, schools, synagogues, government offices, and community and rabbinical organizations from six continents. HaSOFER is a member of and recommended by the Jerusalem Merchants Association and the Israel Merchants Association.
All our tefillin, mezuzot and sofer items, as well as most of our Judaica gifts, are made in Israel, many of them by small family businesses. Your purchase at HaSOFER supports these families and strengthens the Israeli economy.
Rabbinical Certification
HaSOFER is the only manufacturer of tefillin and mezuzot with direct rabbinical supervision from Bet Din over
all stages of production. Major rabbinical authorities in Israel and around the world
endorse our products. Current Rabbinical certification letters are always available on our web site. HaSOFER's staff
consists of over one hundred highly trained sofrim scribes, megihim examiners, and batim-makers, all
certified by Bet Din. Every parsha, tefillin bayit and retzua we sell is produced by, or exclusively
for, HaSOFER. Every mezuza and tefillin parsha undergoes two comprehensive visual examinations
by megihim plus checking by computer program. Learn more
by reading our article Computer Checking of STa"M.
Tefillin and Mezuza Checking and Repair
HaSOFER also provides examination services of tefillin and mezuzot. We repair and refurbish tefillin batim when
this is halachically permitted and economically sound. On your next visit to Israel bring your tefillin or mezuzot to our Jerusalem
shop for examination and repair. We provide you with a loaner pair of tefillin to use while we are repairing yours. You can also email or call us to arrange sending them. Community tefillin and mezuzah examination campaigns is another HaSOFER
specialty. We are glad to arrange one for your community, synagogue, yeshiva or school, whether in Israel or anywhere on the globe.
