Sefer Kesivas St'am By R' M. Mendlowitz - Where to Buy It

By Anonymous -
I have R' Adam's sefer Yalkut Stam, in it he waxes very poetic about the sefer Kesivas Stam by R' Mendlowitz as an indispensable primer on technical information for a sofer.  Does anyone know where I can get a copy (I'm in New York).
Thanks

    I got my copy direct from the author. +972-2-623-4070. IIRC, he only speaks Hebrew & Yiddish.

      This book by R. Reuven Mendelowitz is indeed very good - called Inside STaM. The footnotes and endnotes are in Hebrew but the main text is in English.

      It indeed look very good! However from what I've heard I believe he is a bit more on the side l'hachmir. For educational purposes and learning (and for the layman) it can give a lot of good yedias

      yes I only glanced through it but I saw a picture of a kuba or zanav which he passeled which seemed very machmir

    Its a great sefer giving many yedios-the real good part is that THE PARTY THE JUDAICA STORES HAD IS OVER FOR SOMEBODY READING THE SEFER however if somebody with OCD gets hold of it.........nothing will be good enough

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always  מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך  . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?

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
