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

Klaff Tanning question:

By -
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.

Rabbi Reuvain Mendlowitz clarifies his position on Ksav Chabad (and my final thoughts)

By -
Last week I posted some thoughts in response to a public lecture given by Rabbi Reuvain Mendlowitz regarding  Ksav Chabad (the Alter Rebbe's ksav). I felt he did not represent the issue fairly, and since I had received questions about it from a number of people I felt it made sense to write a general response. After I posted my response on this forum, Rabbi Mendlowitz reached out to me by email and we ended up having a respectful and productive email exchange regarding the relevant issues surrounding Ksav Chabad. His position is a lot clearer to me now, and I think he also took certain things on board that I clarified with him. The purpose of the Stam Forum (at least back in it's heyday before all the whats app groups took over)  was to connect sofrim from around the world, to promote achdus and build bridges, as well as to offer support and advice. In that spirit, I felt  I should write a follow up post, to clarify some of the issues and misconception...
