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
Have you considered using the Vaad's checking system? It may be more affordable (the software can be a big layout upfront) and also helps to support the work of the Vaad. R' Shmiel Traube (on this forum - Bais HaStam) can provide you with a lot of practical info on using it, registering, etc.
ReplyDeleteI would love info on that too. As I am not a professional sofer, the investment for the software is cost-prohibitive.
ReplyDeletemost people who buy the program buy Tor's program called Tikkun Sofrim
ReplyDeletehow do i get this program?
ReplyDeleteI will be back in my office after shabbos, I will post their number then
ReplyDeleteThere is a program called Keshet Hasofer and is produced by a sofer in Betar Ilit.
ReplyDeleteIt is reasonably priced and is designed for "as you go checking". They are very responsive to questions.
It's not designed for checking an entire Sefer Torah at once but rather to catch any errors before you get too far along.
Their website is keshethasofer.com
(R' Eli - I apologize if the posting of websites is not permitted)
