Torah cases for communities in the USA
In short: ordering a Torah case from Israel to the USA
The process starts by measuring the scroll where it is — parchment height, rolled diameter and total height with the atzei chaim — following our instructions and photographs, guided remotely. Material and design are chosen next, a written quote is issued, and the case is built in Israel and shipped in rigid packing. Correspondence and quotes are available in English and Hebrew.
- 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.
Shipping and packing
Every case is packed in rigid packaging intended for international transit.
Destination-country taxes, customs and import fees are not included in the case price unless the quote states otherwise.
Production and shipping dates are given in writing in the quote, according to the chosen dimensions and design.
