Someone asked me to check 4 mezuzos he bought from a very special sofer in Israel.

Here's what they looked like....

    R' Eli -

    I had a few similar to this come through my shop recently - all from different people, all Israeli, who purchased them in Israel. Do you know who the "sofer" is? Email me separately if you have info - kerwiler(at)gmail.com.

    Thanks -

    A student at the Technion in Haifa once published that his room-mate, an Arab student with artistic talents, writes mezuzot when he has free time on Shabbat.

    Well, "a very special sofer in Israel"... that's ME, and I NEVER wrote those Mezuzas.
    But if you are looking for a weird Sofer, I think that this guy wins the first place.

    Wow! A very special sofer indeed! I've been doing this for 25 years and this might take the cake!

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
