Tefillin parshiyot made by the famous scribe, the tzaddik R. Netanel Sofer (Tefilliniski). Jerusalem, [ca. early 20th century].
Black ink on parchment.
The tefillin made by R. Netanel Sofer were renowned throughout the pre-Holocaust Torah world. Many leading rabbis – including R. Shmuel Salant, R. Chaim Berlin, the Leshem, the Alter of Slabodka and Rav Kook – bought his tefillin and mezuzot. It is known that the Chafetz Chaim made many attempts to acquire R. Netanel Sofer's tefillin and rejoiced greatly upon receiving them.
R. Netanel Sofer Tefilliniski (1867-1918) created every part of the tefillin himself – processed the parchment and leather, prepared the ink, cut the straps, etc. He scribed each letter and tag in holiness and purity, wrapped in his tallit and tefillin, and would not pause to speak while writing. R. Netanel Sofer's tefillin are exceptional for their superb scribal script, halachic precision and high-quality ink.
These parshiyot were inspected by leading scribes in Jerusalem, confirming that they were written by R. Netanel Sofer.
5 high-quality parchment leaves, mostly thin parchment. Height: 31 mm.
The parshiyot were examined by an expert, who concluded that the "shel yad" parshiyot are kosher, whereas one of the four "shel rosh" parshiyot may be invalid.
