Professional TEFILLIN Checking by  SOFER Avrohom Dovid Wolffe

Your TEFILLIN deserve the highest level of care and expertise. Proper inspection requires not only technical skill but also patience, precision, integrity, and years of hands on experience. At the Kosher Sofer STaM Center, Sofer Avrohom Dovid Wolffe brings more than two decades of professional dedication to ensuring that every pair of TEFILLIN is examined with the utmost accuracy and respect.

What the Checking Process Includes

A full TEFILLIN inspection is a detailed and meticulous procedure. It involves carefully opening the BATIM, examining every letter of each PARSHIYAH, repairing letters when halachically possible, reinserting the scrolls correctly, and skillfully resewing and closing the BATIM. This process requires concentration, deep expertise, and a commitment to halachic accuracy.
The minimum time needed to properly check a pair of TEFILLIN is two hours, although it may take longer depending on the condition of the scrolls.

The fee for a full TEFILLIN inspection is one hundred fifty dollars per pair. Larger repairs, such as replacing straps or Batim or significant letter correction, may require an additional fee.

Quality Assessment

At your request, the Sofer will provide a complimentary assessment of the overall quality and halachic status of your TEFILLIN. This helps you understand the craftsmanship, durability, and long term reliability of your set.

Optional Finishing Services

Hermetic cosmetic sealing and professional painting are available. These services require several days to complete and involve an additional fee. This service is not required for the kashrut of the Tefillin.

If the TEFILLIN or the straps are not kosher, the Sofer will make an effort to notify you immediately to rewarp Tefillin on that day. It is common to see straps that are not kosher since their lifespan is about ten years, depending on quality, usage, and care.
