The oldest blockchain in the world isn’t Bitcoin or Ethereum.
The Jewish people have kept the Holy Torah as an unbroken chain for over 3,000 years. Through the Torah, we connect our current generation back all the way to Moses and Mount Sinai. In each block, every generation, the Torah is reviewed and passed onto the next, l’dor v’dor.
The “Torah blockchain”, the foundation of Judaism, is the supreme example of decentralized validation and global consensus.
This project isn’t merely creating digital collectibles of Torah portions. All collected funds will be used for the writing of a physical, professionally scribed, kosher Torah Scroll.
By purchasing a Parsha NFT, you are donating to help write a Sefer Torah while using the blockchain to receive digital proof of your stake in its creation. You can fulfill this beloved and essential Mitzvah of writing a Sefer Torah in a way that’s never been done before.
Let’s make history!
