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
After posting this I looked around and found the teshuva...
ReplyDeleteThe Aruch HaShulchan writes in YD Siman 282 Sif 4 that even for Nach that was written l'shmo and on a klaf one still doesn't have to stand for it – only by a Sefer Torah.
In the sefer "Kiman V'Hidur"

he brings this down. As well as from the Meiri in Kiddushin 33b d"h "Sefer Torah" that davka in front of a Sefer Torah one must stand since it hs a Kedusha Yiserah, however in front of shar seforim "ain omdin clal".
