A Robot's Pen: The Latest Exhibit at the Jewish Museum

This innovative concept was conceived by Rabbi Reuven Yakubovich, a local rabbi and scribe, showcased as part of an exhibition at the Jewish Museum in Germany - the first robot of its kind, programmed to write two Torah scrolls, intended for display at the museum. The robot completed the task after ten diligent hours each day, over the course of six months. It is important to note that the two scrolls produced by the robot are not suitable for use in synagogues and are meant to be archived in the museum as an authentic Jewish exhibit only.  

"The robot isn't meant to replicate or replace human actions - rather, to create meaning for people who value this craft," explains the young programmer. Supporting this, the museum management also wanted to inform the public that these are not 'real' Torah scrolls, and that they were written by the robot purely for experimental purposes.
