Last week I posted some thoughts in response to a public lecture given by Rabbi Reuvain Mendlowitz regarding Ksav Chabad (the Alter Rebbe's ksav). I felt he did not represent the issue fairly, and since I had received questions about it from a number of people I felt it made sense to write a general response. After I posted my response on this forum, Rabbi Mendlowitz reached out to me by email and we ended up having a respectful and productive email exchange regarding the relevant issues surrounding Ksav Chabad. His position is a lot clearer to me now, and I think he also took certain things on board that I clarified with him. The purpose of the Stam Forum (at least back in it's heyday before all the whats app groups took over) was to connect sofrim from around the world, to promote achdus and build bridges, as well as to offer support and advice. In that spirit, I felt I should write a follow up post, to clarify some of the issues and misconception...
Very smart layout. Kol hakavod.
ReplyDeleteshkoyach. I thought the parchment backround look was apt
ReplyDeleteHi Eli,
ReplyDeleteI like the new look. It gives it a much warmer and pleasant feeling. Keep up the good work.
As we know, the pictures in my previous posts have all but vanished. This ocured when I closed my Google email account a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, as we have learned, whatever picture one posts on the Forum, they are never formally uploaded to the website in the same manner as the text is. Instead, they reside within a parallel Google/Picasa account (even if one doesn't have one) and only appear on the Forum via a web-link. Therefore, if one closes a google email account linked to the posts, whatever pictures one has placed on the Forum will also disappear with it.
Question, as the Site's administrator, are you able to edit any of the previous posts, or is this something which the architecture of the site does not allow? Please let me know. Perhaps I can email you copies of the previous missing pictures for them to be reposted. Thanks!
Alberto,
Deletegood to hear from you, I was worried what happened to your pictures {I was afraid it might happen to mine}. B"H it was something external, I coudn't figure out how that happened.
Eli keep up the great work on this forum, thanks
Thanks Moshe,
DeleteIt's good to be back. With the close of my other Google email account, I wasn't able to log unto the Forum + the pics vanished! I have learned the lesson: "If ever in the need to restructure your Google email accounts don't ever close one of them." Whatever pictures you may have posted on any blog will automatically vanish with them. The worst thing is that, there is absolutely nothing one can do! : )
