About & Our Board
דּוֹר לְדוֹר יְשַׁבַּח מַעֲשֶׂיךָ
The Museum of the Scroll was founded on a simple conviction: that the Tanakh and the Sifrei Torah are not only sacred to read, but a heritage to protect. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving, studying, and sharing the scribal tradition of the Jewish people — the parchment, the ink, the letters, and the lives bound up in them.
Our mission
We conserve scrolls and Tanakh manuscripts in archival conditions, support the work and training of soferim, make these texts accessible to scholars and the public, and provide a dignified home for scrolls that synagogues, families, and communities can no longer keep. Everything we do is guided by reverence for the kedushah of the written word.
Preservation
Climate-controlled, archival care so that fragile parchment endures for generations to come.
Scholarship
Digitization and study that open these texts to researchers, students, and curious minds everywhere.
Tradition
Halachic guidance at every step, honoring the scribal practices passed down for thousands of years.
Our Board of Directors
The Museum is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors who set our direction, safeguard our resources, and ensure we serve our mission with integrity.
Rabbi Ephraim Blatter
Chabad Rabbi of Rutherford, New Jersey, and a valued member of the Museum’s board, lending guidance rooted in community leadership and a deep commitment to Jewish learning.
Aaron Housman
