Sofer STaM in Surfside
Certified Sofer STaM serving Surfside with mezuzah checking, tefillin checking, home visits, and new kosher scrolls.
Surfside families — from the streets around the Shul of Surfside to the Harding Avenue corridor — call Rabbi Levi Backman for hands-on safrut. Because the ocean is a block away and salt air reaches every doorpost, most Surfside homes benefit from more frequent mezuzah checks than inland communities. Rabbi Levi comes to your home, opens each mezuzah in front of you, and gives an honest halachic read.

Frequently asked — Surfside
Do you make house calls in Surfside?
Yes. Levi regularly visits Surfside homes, condos, and shuls to check mezuzot and tefillin on-site, with full setup and a written certificate provided.
How often should mezuzot in Surfside be checked?
Halacha requires mezuzot to be checked twice every seven years. In Surfside's coastal climate, salt air and humidity can accelerate wear — many local families check annually for outdoor doorposts.
