A place for English speaking sofrim (scribes), magihim (examiners), rabbis and vendors of Stam (Torah, Tefillin and Mezuzah scrolls) from around the world to communicate, share ideas, ask questions and offer support and advice.
A very cheap mezuza, the word uvechol is problematic. I hesitate to accept the beis, the caf, and there is an unexplained [and unnecessary] space between the caf and lamed.
The Beis seems kosher to me. It certainly isnt a Chof or other letter. it has the basic elements of a Beis. The Chof is certainly a bit narrow on the top, but it looks like he makes all of chofs and beises a bit narrow in this ksav. It doesnt look like a nun because the top is wider than the bottom.
Seems to me you could extend the bottom and top of the chof a bit and solve the problem of the space, while making the chof lechatchila.
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. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?
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

Beis if kosher
ReplyDeleteChof is shailos tinnok
Spacing is also ok (lifi what I've seen by R' Shammai in the past -- he's pretty makil in this relatively speaking.) Perhaps to make the chof longer
