Sophie brought us the second to last letter in the Alef Beis. It was letter Taf. Taf has one big line on top, one big line coming down, another big line coming down, a little line on the bottom left, and one dot in the middle.
Torah begins with letter Taf.
We went to the Shul. Rabbi Dovid showed us the different Torahs in the Aron Kodesh. He told us there are 300,000 letters in the Torah and it takes a Sofer (scribe) 6 to 9 months to write just one Torah. Then we each got a turn to find the first letter of our names in the Torah. So special!
Is the Torah heavy or light? The way we found out was by lifting it.
Yes, it is heavy!
