 Moshe Dadon, originally from Morocco, learned microcalligraphy as a boy when local rabbinical leaders, following an anti-Jewish riot, began searching for ways to create tiny Hebrew ritual items, such as a Torah scroll, which could be transported through the city without attracting the attention of people who sought to destroy them. At age eight, Moshe was taught the profession of "sofor-stam", that is, of someone who writes Jewish religious texts on parchment for ritual use.

He researched the idea of microcalligraphy and began to create Jewish scenes (such as Fiddler on the Roof) together with Biblical scenes (the Book of Ruth, the Book of Psalms, and many others).
