Artifact and Torah made by women

RantWoman thanks RantMom for calling this item to RantWoman's attention:

This item is about a group of women in Seattle who produced a Torah. This involved subterfuge to buy the paper, women learning to transcribe, sewing it with special needles and probably a bunch of other measures RantWoman is completely unequipped to comment about.

RantWoman is tempted to wander into all sorts of reflections about what people will or will not put up with in the name of faith, but perhaps RantWoman should stick with the artifact behind the title: RantWoman met for Pho and then a short pedestrian adventure to RantMom's house. While RantWoman was visiting, RantMom handed her a newspaper clipping about this very topic.

Ordinarily RantWoman is the sort of ungrateful grouch who might grumble about not needing one more dang piece of paper to collect dust in her apartment while RantWoman decides whether or not to go to the trouble of reading it. The clipping is lurking in one of RantWoman's bags, but it did serve to remind RantWoman to go look the article up online.

Whatever works!
