The Treasury's front page at otzarhasofer.net: the title, the Scribe's motto, and a gold aleph on a navy Herald.

What it is

Otzar Ha'Sofer is a physical folio and a 22-letter deck, Derekh Eretz, used in a reading led by a Scribe. The Treasury is its digital companion: a reference guide to every letter, the Mizbe'ach folio drawn as a live mandala, and a second deck of biblical episodes, Derekh Ha'Dorot.

The Herald

Each participant gets a Herald, a heraldic sigil drawn by code from the three letters in their reading and dated in Hebrew time. It isn't fortune-telling; it's a record of the reading.

What else is in the Treasury

Commentaries in four layers after PaRDeS, a shelf of Sefarim including liturgy and Hebrew grammar, the weekly Torah portion, a Mizrach finder that points to Jerusalem, and Ma'alot, a side-scroller where the 22 letters are the moves. It works offline and keeps your data in your own browser.
