Hi! My name is Yehuda David, and I've lived in
Israel as a sofer stam for all my life. I live in the beautiful lower galilee of Northern Israel. I have a wife and six children. In the last two years my wife and I also adopted two foster children. My love for Torah and scripture permeates each and every project. I am also a certified Rabbi and have a masters degree in medical sciences.

Yes. While Judaism does not favor things such as talismans or 'spells', these are not the same. These are prayers taken directly from Jewish scripture, and are kosher. We use these prayers with the understanding that the words of Torah have power, and we are harnessing that power for the protection and benefit of the Jewish people.
The size of each parchment varies based on the particular blessing or prayer you choose. One of the smaller parchments is the famous 'Shmirah La Derech' which is a blessing you are meant to keep in your wallet, as it serves to protect each person wherever they go.
