Every male is required to acquire a complete Torah Scroll for himself. Better yet if he can write one himself—then it is considered "as if he received it from Sinai"!
This mitzvah commands every Jew to write a Sefer Torah for himself, ensuring the Torah’s preservation and transmission. Even if one inherits a Torah scroll, he fulfills the mitzvah more completely by writing his own. The act represents personal connection and responsibility for Torah, binding each Jew to the covenant of Sinai. In later generations, this mitzvah is extended to include supporting Torah learning through acquiring books of Torah study.
