When i was Bar Mitzvad i had to write them all by hand but looking back it was well worth it i recently cashed out my bonds with a face value of $530 and got $3000 to put away for a rainy day.
Funny story my mom had a gentile coworker she invited to my Bar Mitzva and i was kinda excited about what her gift would be thinking it would be something fun since she didn’t know anything about seforim and all that, i opened it up whaddya know a set of Chumashim!
