   Karyn Traphagen wrote, "I am curious as to the medium for these scrolls.
Are the small scrolls you describe written on paper or on parchment (animal
skin)? Were they hand-lettered?"
   The small Torah scrolls were written on animal skins by hand by a scribe
("sofer") in the same manner and subject to the same rules as the larger and
heavier Torah scrolls.
