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
It is a mistake! There is written about a megila that was written shlo csidran, meaning not timewise, but megila starts page no.10,9,8 etc. [as the shlo ksidran in hanachas haparshiyos b'batim shel rosh].
ReplyDeleteit is in Kol yaacov 691:30
ReplyDeleteR' Moshe - Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have a related question. I once heard that we are not required to write Kesidran in Sefer Torah because of practical reasons but that it would be more desirable to try to write it Kesidran. For instance, avoid skipping the Sheimos for writing all together at a later time. Has anyone heard about this and if yes what's the source?

The Keset 10:13 writes that lechatchila one should write the Shem in order (this is based on the Zohar),however bidieved the keset allows if the Shem was not written in order.
ReplyDeleteIbid:18 concerning the importance of going to Mikveh before writing Shem. The Keset allows one to leave empty spaces and later write them after going to the mikveh, however to do it on the entire Sefer Torah, he writes one should not do it since the ktav will look menumar (spotted).
