Klaff Tanning question:
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.
The forum is back online...for reference and research purposes.
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
It's kosher. If both feet come out of separate places in the rosh its a problem. If they come out "together" its usually kohser bidieved and can be fixed. but here you can see clearly the left regel is coming out of the right regel, just a little high so its OK, perhaps just fix it a bit by adding ink so it looks a little more meduyak
ReplyDeleteI agree with Eli.
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt that the above GIMMEL is kasher. However, how can we say that when the left foot originates at the very top of the right YERECH it's Kasher Bediavad???
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be a complete Shinui of the Tzurah? Even if a Tinok where to read it, we would not be able to repair it?
Please elucidate the reasoning behind the above statements so that we may better understand.
Thanks
What I mean is if they blend into one atth top, ie they are together part of the way down from the rosh. If you dont understand I will upload a picture. I think these is a picture of it in that sefer you quoted sfekas hasofer. This is bedieved
ReplyDeleteAgreed. We mean to say the same thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks & regards.
