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.
I've learned about this, but this is the first time I've ever seen this
PS LOVE the broken-back פ (which the mishnat sofrim abhors and goes to lengths to say everything EXCEPT for calling it פסול...another indication of it's age-- post WWI one doesn't really see פ's like this sans for סופרים בורים
I'm currently writing a megillah for personal use. May I make such a teliya? The sefarim seem to permit it but there must be some reason no one does it anymore.
How old is this?
ReplyDeleteat least 150 years old
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful and rare...given it's age it should be sold for way above the market value because of this distinct feature.

Seen the suspended words a couple of times in Sifrey. Always interesting to see.
