What is the Global Community Torah?

The Global Community Torah is a digital Torah scroll, collectively “written” by people from around the world. Tens of thousands of Jews from countries from all over the world have participated in this free project, adding Hebrew letters to the digital scroll. The goal of this worldwide project is to collectively re-enact the final commandment in the Torah, found in Deuteronomy 31:19. According to common interpretations of the verse, each and every Jew must write a Torah because every Jew has a stake in the tradition.
