sefer torah
Question
Is it acceptable to have letters in a Sefer Torah dedicated to both men and women?
We are completing to write a Sefer Torah, in honor of the memory of my parents and my wife’s parents.Soon we will have a dedication.
It is common to have a letter written in the name of a person.
Is it acceptable to have a letter written in the name of my daughters, daughters in law, sister, aunts, and other ladies?
Only a Sofer or his designee will write in the Torah. No woman will write even one letter in the Torah.
Naturally men, approved by the Sofer, will be able to write a letter.
Answer
Although a woman does not write a sefer Torah (Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah 281 3), there is no problem in a sofer writing a Torah or part of it and having it dedicated to the honor or memory of a woman.
