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
There is no hallachic problem, it is just the cavod of the aron/sifrei tora. So if possible some alternative cover should be used, if possible and honourable. If not, I dont see a reason not to take down the paroches to fix it.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Aron Kodesh have peroches hanging from the inside while the doors are from the outside is this also acceptable according to the minhag?
ReplyDeleteThe paroches is on the inside in yeshivas Ponevezh so apparently it is fine.
