What is Sofer On Site?

Sofer On Site (soferonsite.com) is an international team of Torah scribes — a sofer — who write and care for Torah scrolls and travel to congregations to work on-site. It describes itself as a father, son, and son-in-law team supported by dedicated staff, with an office and workshop in South Florida and service to communities on all five continents over the past 40 years. If you are looking for a scribe who can come to your location rather than have a scroll shipped away, or for a Torah-related educational program for a community, this is the kind of organization the site describes.

Who they are

The site presents the team as:

• Rabbi Gedaliah Druin — Founder
• Rabbi Moshe Druin — President
• Rabbi Yochanan Salazar — Traveling Sofer
• Rabbi Levi Selwyn — Traveling Sofer

The self-description is "Scribes, Educators and Master Storytellers." The stated responsibility of a sofer, in their words, is the spiritual work of writing and caring for Torah scrolls, which they frame as answering to a "Higher Authority."

What they do

Two things stand out in the site's own description:

1. On-site scribal work. The name is the point: they say they are "always local and on-site, wherever a Torah is found," and that they pride themselves on traveling to congregations and their Torahs. This is offered alongside — not instead of — their South Florida office and workshop.

2. Education and community programming. They describe expanding the role of a typical scribe beyond writing to "propelling the energy and beauty of scribing a Torah to others." Their services are described as designed to enrich participants and are aimed at Jewish communities of all sizes and affiliations.

How they describe their approach

The site frames its work around what it calls a "Torah Journey" and a project model built on one principle: that the spirit of Torah is alive and real. The activities it names include:

• Unifying communal activities
• Community-building incentives
• Special family gatherings
• Personal spiritual encounters

They also note that the team has "been through the main streams of Judaism ourselves," which they present as the basis for their stated ability to relate to Jews of all ages and backgrounds.

What to check before contacting them

The site mentions a "purchase" option but does not list prices, so treat cost as something to confirm directly. Useful questions to ask:

• Does your location fall within their travel range, and how is travel arranged?
• What is the scope of the specific service you need — writing, repair, inspection, or a program?
• What are the timelines and any certification or documentation you require?

The site's own call to action is simply "Ready for a Torah Journey? You're just a click away," so the natural next step is to reach out through the website with your location and what you need done.
