poor ches - 2 vavim

By -

This "sofer" makes his ches out of 2 vavs, it is easier. Easy = speed = more cash!
But no yiras shamayim, although this is kosher bdieved, this is contrary to the laws of "csiva tama" that a ches' left part be a zayin.
A "sofer" that makes this his practice is chashud in my eyes. Therefore I search any shayla to passel these types of csav!!

    It's clear that this person did not go through any formal training in the writing of STAM. In this case, it would have probably been better for him to write the CHET with a flat roof as Rashi. However, in his quest for speed, he would would have probably missed the Chutra de Rashi as well.

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך .

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
