Holy Scriptures Writer

Truly awe inspiring it reminds me of the Biblical Scribes amongst the pharisees in stories of the BIble.In former times only the scribes could write ( I am obviously not one of them )lol anyway jokes aside they like in some parts of the world today would be paid to write down letters for anyone wishing to record there transactions legal or otherwise.This is really a wonderful scribe meaning to write very similar to the german word today schreiben meaning writing.I love this piece it is very sweet.Alistair sorry didn’t mean to lecture I just love those old stories.

Are the Yemenites still writing the Scriptures by hand today? The glasses in the photograph look modern?

The carving is amazing. It is very well done.

Hi Scotsman, I like your origin comment and even when you will slow down, I invite comments like this one.
Hi Rob Drown, not only the Yemenite Jew but all Holy Scriptures Writers writes today by hand. Learning the bible can be done by a bible which was printed by a machine, to read in the synagogue as part of the pray must be from a bible which was written by hand on a parchment scroll. The picture was taken about 50 years ago, I know it according the method used to fix the glass on the window frame. In those days they used nails and putty.
Thanks to all for your comments

Hi Alistair, thank you very much. Since the woodcarving is my hobby and I have another job for life, it takes me a lot of time to do one piece, especially paces. So I have one or two fineshe ready to show but after that it will take few month bor a piece

Chris, Thank you very much and good luck with your woodcarving start.

-- Eli Adamit, Israel

Eli, At my age, and with more than four decades of woodworking under my belt,very seldom am I ever blown away by talent, and artistry. You have demonstrated the mastery of hand carving with the talent of artistry and creativity rarely found in the world today. And the awesome thing about it is you will only get better!!(a little slower and shakier but better lol). Bill

Dear Woodpecker bill, first of all I’m jealous about your nick name, some times as a joke I said that I am a woodpecker – I do the same activity as this bird is doing and I like this bird.
Yours warming words exciting me and fill my heart. I enjoy with what I am doing and to read your comment is like the cherry on the cream of the cake.
Thank you very much.
