commissioned sefer torah

By -
mazal tov mazal tov! i am proud and happy to share that i was just commissioned to write a sefer torah!

it will be my first b"H and i have quite a few questions regarding technical details and arrangements that must be set in place prior to starting. there is no socher involved -- it will be a direct arrangement between me and the private client

i am interested in receiving feedback from those who have experience writing sifrei torah and can explain considerations regarding:

  • formulation of a contract agreement
  • timelines and completion dates for specific parshiyot etc
  • pricing for klaf and other materials  (including how much and how often to receive payment)
  • sizes and variational options of sifrei torah dimensions (i prefer to write 8mm size ksav)
  • hachnasas sefer torah ceremonies, etc
  • any other relevant information based on professional experience

also important to mention is that the ksav is mehudar (based on the opinion of a magiha musmach with over 30+ years experience)

please contact me about any and all (or more) of these pertinent topics directly via email: pesachrothberg@gmail.com. thanks in advance!

gratefully yours,
pesach rothberg

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?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

By -
Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן  that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
