Ink floating on klaf

By -
I remember seeing a long time ago in שו"ת שבט הלוי that ink must float on the klaf  צף על הקלף . I don't remember the exact location, and I don't have שו"ת שבט הלוי on hand. I could not find it by searching hebrewbooks.org either. Can anyone please help and find the exact location?

    I just Bar-Ilan'd "צף" "קלף" to appear within 20 words of each other in every sefer (including shu''t shevet halevi" and it didnt come up with anything. I also tried several other searches, but didn't succeed.
    sorry

    see bnei yonah yorah deah siman 271 seif 6
    http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=44655&st=&pgnum=5 (last parentheses in the left column)

    see also yerios shlomo (ch. 3 p. 3) who says that it is kosher

    Zvi, I think you didn't mean "floating" rather protruding, Ie the ink is boilet above the klaf.
    This is the Bney Yona quoted by Peretz above.
    Readjust the hebrew words in search, instead of צף.

    I remember the word צף or one of its variations like יצוף ,לצוף, etc.

Klaff Tanning question:

By -
I received this question via email. I am not really a klaf expert, I was wondering if anyone could answer this question:   Dear Rabbi Gutnick,   I am writing to you because a good friend of mine has put the idea into my head that the klaf in my tefillin were not really tanned and therefore are not kosher. He referred me to Megilla 19a re diftera.   From the research that I have done so far, it seems that the klaf that is used today is tanned only with a lime wash. On all of the tanning websites I’ve seen so far, they say that the lime doesn’t accomplish tanning but only the removal of the hair and some other pre-tanning effects.   Would you be able to explain to me or refer me to a website that explains how the tanning process that is used today takes the hide out of the category of diftera?   Thank you very much.

Rabbi Reuvain Mendlowitz clarifies his position on Ksav Chabad (and my final thoughts)

By -
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...
