Left foot of gimel
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?
Question: Does
the law of yud of the alef shin ayin etc. that are touching the body of the ois, straight
without a connecting oketz (SA 32:18), apply in gimel?
Note MS ois gimel
אם נדבק הירך בהרגל יגרור הירך ודי בכך
(if the left foot
is stuck to the right foot ..) – this can mean pic.1 because it is [like a]
nun, or also pic. 2?
It is accepted
here in Eretz Yisrael that there is a sfardi gimel that is written
m'lachatchila as pic.2, it is locali called "gimel Bagdadi" (the
gimel that Iraqi/Bagdad sofrim were custom to write), this is noted in Biur
Hasofer ibid. in the name of Da'as Kdoshim – that this gimel is csav velish. [Old
csav velish, but today all sofrim sfardim don’t write the gimel so, rather like an
ashkenazic gimel the left foot separated from the guf. Even sofrim from the
iraqi community today don't write a gimel as prescribed "gimel Bagdadi"].
Questions:
1) can there be a change hallachicaly, that a
gimel once accepted as kosher [even l'chatchila] is now pasul bdieved?
2) If the gimel was kosher for velish/bagdad
does that make it automaticaly kosher [bdieved] for ashknazim (then, or even
now)?
Bezras Hashem to
be continued next week.

Klaff Tanning question:
I received this question via email. I am not really a klaf expert, I was wondering if anyone could answer this question: Dear Rabbi Gutnick, I am writing to you because a good friend of mine has put the idea into my head that the klaf in my tefillin were not really tanned and therefore are not kosher. He referred me to Megilla 19a re diftera. From the research that I have done so far, it seems that the klaf that is used today is tanned only with a lime wash. On all of the tanning websites I’ve seen so far, they say that the lime doesn’t accomplish tanning but only the removal of the hair and some other pre-tanning effects. Would you be able to explain to me or refer me to a website that explains how the tanning process that is used today takes the hide out of the category of diftera? Thank you very much.
The forum is back online...for reference and research purposes.
Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
