-- Josh Ternyak has just announced the launch of BuyATorah.com, the first digital platform that enables anyone to donate just $18 and take part in writing a Sefer Torah (Torah Scroll). The initiative aims to place Torah scrolls into synagogues worldwide, ensuring that every community, no matter its size or resources, has access to the heart of Jewish life.
Using Technology To Support a Sacred Tradition
The mitzvah of writing a Torah scroll is one of the most important commandments in Judaism, but until now, it has largely been limited to those with substantial means. BuyATorah.com changes that by inviting Jews everywhere to join together and collectively sponsor Torah scrolls through small but powerful contributions. By donating digitally, participants become lifelong partners in fulfilling a mitzvah that spans thousands of years.
Founder’s Mission
“For me, this project is about accessibility and unity,” said Josh Ternyak, founder of
BuyATorah.com. “Every Jew deserves the opportunity to say, ‘I helped write a Torah.’ With just $18, we are giving people across the world the chance to join hands in something eternal. This isn’t just a donation—it’s a legacy.”
A Movement for Synagogues Everywhere
Synagogues often face the challenge of aging or damaged Torah scrolls, and replacing them can cost tens of thousands of dollars. BuyATorah.com aims to bridge that gap by providing fully funded Torahs at no cost to communities in need. From small congregations in rural towns to large communities overseas, the initiative ensures that Jewish life remains strong and centered around the Torah.
How It Works
- Donors visit BuyATorah.com.
- With a simple $18 contribution, each donor is counted as part of a Torah writing project.
- Once fully funded, a new Torah scroll is written and placed in a synagogue that has applied through the platform.
- Donors receive updates about the Torah’s journey and the community it will serve.
Beyond Donations: Building Connection
BuyATorah.com is not only about funding Torahs—it’s about creating community. Each Torah scroll represents a collective effort of hundreds or thousands of Jews who came together to leave a spiritual mark on the world. Donors become part of something greater than themselves, uniting tradition, technology, and the power of giving.
