You take out all the fun if the file name is the mistake. Like here: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DF8H5jgxYCs/URQBrm-hBDI/AAAAAAAAADo/5rPBCZ4Ag2c/s320/Osam+Osam.jpg
Right click the picture and click on "view image" or similar option and look at the address line (or whatever its called). Or right click and choose "save image" and see the name of the file. Sometimes its enough to hover with the mouse over the image and looking at the status bar on bottom - like in the post with the three mezuzas a few days ago.
I understand that - or by clicking on "Properties", you can see it as well. But who asked you to click on anything?... Leave the mouse alone - and just read! - Then I won't be taking any fun away from you!...
OK but sometimes I open the picture in a separate tab to enlarge it, like in the case of the three mezuzas, and then I see the file name (for some reason in this post the picture didn't enlarge). I'll try next time not to look.
I don't think I have any other option. I have so many files accumilated through the years of various problems found in Tefillin & Mezuzahs, that I must give it as clear a name as possible, or else I'll never be able to find any files.
but you would want to stretch the tuf a little so the revach is less than 3 yudin. be careful not to make ponim chadashos. it also might look ugly when thickened
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.
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

But where do you see the file name when it's posted on the blog?

ReplyDeleteReb Shea, could you send me some more of your mezuzah scans? I could really use the practice.
