Sofer On Site Sofrim are certified to appraise the current market value and replacement value of Torah scrolls as well as all Torah Ornaments. We offer to provide this service On Site, at your location. In today's environment, every Torah must be insured with ample coverage against theft, water or fire damage or loss. However just writing down an estimated value and paying insurance premiums does not adequately provide insurance coverage for your Torah. An insurance approved appraisal document must be prepared and accompany each appraised Torah value to ensure each scroll is adequately insured. Assessing your Sifrei Torah of their monetary replacement or market value, provides you with a written fact sheet about each Scroll. This appraising evaluation includes: • Owner's Name and Address • Applied identifying number • Date the document was prepared • Style and quality of writing • Quality and Type of parchment • Entire overall scroll condition and current status • All external and internal measurements (i.e. size of script, spacing etc.) • Scroll origin and estimated age • Digital photographs of the text is provided with source location • List of hidden secret pin marks, specially located throughout the scroll. • Appraised replacement value or market value This information which is included in the appraisal document will assist you in identifying your Torah's true replacement value for insurance or current resale value, provide proof of ownership and establishes a benchmark date of the last time the scroll was examined. Please note: Appraising a Torah, takes about one hour to accomplish. We offer a service discounted rate when we evaluate a Torah (for restoration purposes) and appraise it simultaneously. Sofer On Site also provides regular updates of existing insurance appraisals. Please be aware; the insurance coverage you should have is one that covers the scrolls wherever they are, including being taken to a retreat, a shiva minyan, etc., as well as in transit. Sometimes it is known as “inland marine insurance” or can be a simple additional rider to your existing policy. Contact us for more information on insurance documentation and fees or to schedule an appointment.
