Service
Full check of a pair of tefillin: parchments, batim, stitching, straps.
≈ US$49 (indicative, charged in euros)
Tefillin worn daily wear out: the black paint chips, corners round off, straps crack and, inside, the ink on the parchments may fissure. A regular check ensures the mitzvah is fulfilled.
The sofer opens the batim, checks each parchment, inspects the batim and straps, then closes and re-stitches according to halacha. Major repairs are quoted separately.
Tracked and insured shipping from France or Israel. In-stock items ship within 2 business days. Items written to order show their lead time on the product page.
Scrolls are sacred handwritten items: they can only be returned for a kashrut defect confirmed by a sofer. Cases and accessories can be returned within 14 days.
Gassot are made from one piece of thick leather, very durable and repairable; they are the mehudar standard. Peshutim mehudarim are also one piece but thin leather: kosher and cheaper, less durable. Avoid plain "peshutim" glued from several pieces.
At least 2 to 3 months before the date: writing the parchments and making the batim takes several weeks, and the boy should practice putting them on before he is obligated.
