How to Get in Touch With Sofer On Site or Start a Torah Project
Updated
Sofer On Site International is a family-run team of Torah scribes (a father, son, and son-in-law, plus staff) that works on-site at congregations worldwide, with an office and workshop in South Florida. To start a Torah project or reach the team, the site's own call to action is the entry point: "Ready for a Torah Journey? You're just a click away." The page confirms you can purchase services or items but does not list prices or payment methods, so specific project, travel, and cost questions need to go through the site's contact channel.
Who you'd be contacting
The page names the people behind the work:
| Name | Role |
|---|---|
| Rabbi Gedaliah Druin | Founder |
| Rabbi Moshe Druin | President |
| Rabbi Yochanan Salazar | Traveling Sofer |
| Rabbi Levi Selwyn | Traveling Sofer |
They describe themselves as "Scribes, Educators and Master Storytellers," with over 40 years serving communities on all five continents and over 30 years of experience with community programming.
What they actually do
Two things distinguish them from a typical scribe who only writes:
- On-site work — as the name suggests, they travel to wherever a Torah is found, rather than requiring the scroll to come to them. This is in addition to their South Florida office and workshop.
- Community programming — they run "Torah Journey" projects built around communal activities, community-building incentives, family gatherings, and personal spiritual encounters, aimed at Jewish communities of all sizes and affiliations.
How to start
- Go to soferonsite.com and use the site's contact/action link — the page frames this as the single step: "You're just a click away."
- Describe your situation: whether you need a Torah scroll written, repaired, or checked; whether you want an on-site visit; and whether you're planning a community program or event.
- Ask directly about scheduling, travel to your location, and cost. The page mentions purchase but gives no prices or payment platforms, so these must be confirmed with the team.
What to ask when you make contact
Because the site doesn't publish these details, raise them explicitly:
- Availability and lead time for an on-site visit to your city or congregation
- Whether your request is a writing project, a repair/check, or an educational program
- Fees and how payment is handled
- What's included in a "Torah Journey" project for a community of your size
Common sticking points
- Assuming published pricing — none is listed; treat any figure as something you must request.
- Assuming a local presence — they are based in South Florida but travel; "always local and on-site" refers to their willingness to come to you, not to offices in every region.
- Treating it as only a scribe service — if you're a community organizer, the educational and storytelling side may be the better fit than a straightforward scroll commission.
