Alter Rebbe ktav?

By -

I was recently given this Megillah to fix and was wondering about the ktav. To me, it looked like Alter Rebbe, but the person told me he asked a few sofrim who said this was Arizal... is this "ktav Rusi" or Alter Rebbe?

    This is alter rebbes csav, although not the finest.

    I see many halachic problems, I don't know what you would say to the owner of the megillah in terms of it's halachic status

    I think whoever was megiah this before me really messed up the Megillah (fyi, this is the scan before I fix it)
    there are a ton of tagin that are really long and some that are touching. He tried to do the "rainbow" tagin (start small on end letter and biggest in middle) but failed miserably.

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always  מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident.

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
