Carbon Torah cases for synagogues
In short: why a synagogue chooses a carbon case
A carbon case is built from carbon-fibre layers cured in an autoclave and finished by hand. It is light relative to its strength and highly durable in daily synagogue use, which suits a community that takes the scroll out frequently. The base price is 40,000 ILS, and for a community or family that also commissions the writing of the scroll with us it never goes below 29,000 ILS.
- Multi-layer construction using 3K and 12K carbon fibre.
- Autoclave curing followed by hand finishing.
- Base price 40,000 ILS; never below 29,000 ILS after discount, and only together with commissioning the writing of a scroll with us.
- Warranty on the case body and structure, under correct storage conditions.
- A matching Haftarah case is built at 45%–50% of the Torah case height.
What carbon gives an active synagogue
A high strength-to-weight ratio: the case takes frequent handling without structural fatigue.
Dimensional stability: the material is less affected by humidity swings than wood, under correct storage conditions.
Finishing: lettering, community emblem, dedication and gold, white gold or rose gold finishes.
How to measure before ordering
Three measurements are taken from the scroll itself: the height of the parchment, the rolled diameter, and the total height including the atzei chaim.
The case is then built around those figures with working clearance, so the scroll stands stable and is never compressed.
Every product page on the site lists internal and external dimensions, so they can be compared against the measurements taken.
If measuring is not possible, we guide the measurement remotely from photographs and instructions, and confirm the figures before production starts.
Warranty and care conditions
The warranty covers the case body and its structure.
Keeping conditions: controlled temperature and humidity, no direct sun, fire, liquids or solvents.
Dry microfibre cleaning only, carrying with both hands, and rigid packing in transit.
Frequently asked
- How much does a carbon Torah case cost?
- The base price is 40,000 ILS. Clients who also commission the writing of the scroll with us receive a discount, but the price never goes below 29,000 ILS. The final figure depends on dimensions, design, lettering and finish and is given in writing.
- Is carbon better than wood?
- They are two different choices. Wood is the traditional appearance and starts at 19,000 ILS; carbon is lighter relative to its strength and more durable under frequent handling. Both are built to the measured scroll.
- What does the warranty cover?
- For carbon cases the warranty covers the case body and structure, subject to correct storage: controlled temperature and humidity, no direct sun, fire, liquids or solvents, and dry cleaning only.
