Electric Letter Eraser?
Interested in the opinion of the pros. It seems like an interesting idea...
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

Klaff Tanning question:
I received this question via email. I am not really a klaf expert, I was wondering if anyone could answer this question: Dear Rabbi Gutnick, I am writing to you because a good friend of mine has put the idea into my head that the klaf in my tefillin were not really tanned and therefore are not kosher. He referred me to Megilla 19a re diftera. From the research that I have done so far, it seems that the klaf that is used today is tanned only with a lime wash. On all of the tanning websites I’ve seen so far, they say that the lime doesn’t accomplish tanning but only the removal of the hair and some other pre-tanning effects. Would you be able to explain to me or refer me to a website that explains how the tanning process that is used today takes the hide out of the category of diftera? Thank you very much.
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
I got one recently (ordered the Dolphin 2 from Amazon, about 160 shekel to Israel including shipping, bit took almost a month to get here). Amazing. Really, don't even hesitate. Make sure to get refills. The tips wear out pretty fast.
ReplyDeleteOne tip - If you order one that comes with white and grey tips, use the grey tips. The white ones are regular pencil erasers and won't do you any good (except to erase pencil marks).
I used to use them with very fine sandpaper rolled inside with mostly good results.
ReplyDeleteI use an old Staedtler electric eraser with (now discontinued) Sanford ink eraser strips. It works well, but you have to be very careful or it will burn a hole in the klaf.
