The scroll opens with a framed title page in Hebrew containing the place of issuing (Jerusalem) and the name of the printing press (Samuel Ha-Levi Zuckerman). It is followed by all three benedictions recited before the Megillah reading that are placed one under the other and in the next column, the Book of Esther starts.
