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?

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
