For a Torah scroll to be kosher, it has to be hand written on parchment or papyrus.

1. Does it have to be written in that one ink or would India ink be ok?

2. Does it have to be written with a quill or a reed or would a metal pen be ok?

3. Does it need to be written in a particular style or would block capital letters be ok?

4. (Could it be written in ball point pen?)

5. Is it ok to trace over pencil lines?

6. Can children write in it?

7. What if there were a series of workshops where every participant wrote one single letter in a growing scroll, so eventually hundreds of people directly participated in the mitzvah of writing a scroll? What are allowable modern affordances that lower the barrier to entry?
