Torah cases in Jerusalem
In short: ordering a Torah case in Jerusalem
A case is ordered to the measurements of the existing scroll, never to a nominal size. Measure the parchment height, the rolled diameter and the total height with the atzei chaim, choose the material — wood from 19,000 ILS or carbon at a 40,000 ILS base price — and receive a written quote covering the case, a matching Haftarah case if wanted, and delivery to the synagogue in Jerusalem.
- Wooden Torah case — from 19,000 ILS.
- Carbon Torah case — 40,000 ILS base price; for clients who also commission the writing of the scroll with us it never goes below 29,000 ILS.
- Every case is built to the measured internal and external dimensions of the actual scroll, never to a nominal size.
- A Haftarah case is built at 45%–50% of the height of its matching Torah case.
- Warranty: carbon cases cover the case body and structure; wooden cases carry one year on the case body, under correct storage conditions.
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.
For synagogues in Jerusalem
A synagogue ordering a new case usually orders a matching Haftarah case as well, so the two read as one set inside the ark.
Lettering, community emblem, dedication and finish — gold, white gold or rose gold — are matched to the character of the synagogue.
When an ark is ordered too, the correct order of decisions is scroll, then case, then ark: the ark is measured around the scroll with its case and crown, plus clearance.
Carbon or wood
A wooden case is the traditional choice, warm in appearance and familiar in established synagogues; it starts at 19,000 ILS.
A carbon case is built from carbon-fibre layers cured in an autoclave and finished by hand, light relative to its strength and highly durable; its base price is 40,000 ILS.
For clients who also commission the writing of the scroll with us, a carbon case never goes below 29,000 ILS.
Frequently asked
- How much does a Torah case cost in Jerusalem?
- A wooden case starts at 19,000 ILS. A carbon case has a 40,000 ILS base price, and for clients who also commission the writing of the scroll with us it never goes below 29,000 ILS. The final price depends on dimensions, design, lettering and finish, and is given in a written quote.
- Can a case be made for an existing scroll?
- Yes — that is the common case. The existing scroll is measured (parchment height, rolled diameter, total height with the atzei chaim) and the case is built around those figures.
- Is a Haftarah case ordered as well?
- In most orders, yes. A Haftarah case is built at 45%–50% of the Torah case height, so the pair reads correctly together in the ark.
