Other comments
  • Looks more like a Torah Scroll than typeset Torah fonts, but the copying is uneven.
  • Sides don't line up with eachother, so things are harder to find.
  • Cheapest
  • Simplest and easiest to use of the typeset ones
    		•
  • Shows all Torah portion names and aliyot clearly with a boxed sign!
  • Most technically explicit and helpful, but footnotes and shading on the Torah scroll side are a distraction, especially for beginners.
  • Comes in large and small edition/print size
  • Only Tikkun w/Translation & commentary!
  • Counts as a Torah and a Tikkun!
  • Large section of bar mitzvah laws & customs in back.
  • But, largest,   heaviest & most expensive
