Shaalo


I started writing my Sefer Torah, and here's my first shaala. Is the Yud acceptable?
Thanks!

  1. Seems fine.

    In Mishnat Sofrim, the Mishne Berura write about the "Vav" of the Lamed: "ויכתוב הראש והצואר כפוף מעט". Is there a reason you are not doing so?

    1. Not everyone holds that that means you have to slant the צואר forward. Anyway the yud is fine.

    2. @aharon I usually try to make a very slight bend, but specifically when writing Elokim, I'm afraid of the back shpitz of the Hey touching the bent Lamed behind it. So I avoid bending the Lamed in the Shem... just a precaution.

      Thanks for the other comments. I will be posting more pics in my blogs as I write

    3. Many sofrim do not make the Vav of the Lamed bent forward slightly like the Mishna Brura. It is mehudar either way.
