Lamedim
Besides for lack of shatnez getz tagin in the second half of the mezuzah, some lamedim are kav moshuch. Some opinions allow fixing, can I get a psak here please? The meuzah has sentimental value.
Rabbi Reuvain Mendlowitz clarifies his position on Ksav Chabad (and my final thoughts)
Last week I posted some thoughts in response to a public lecture given by Rabbi Reuvain Mendlowitz regarding Ksav Chabad (the Alter Rebbe's ksav). I felt he did not represent the issue fairly, and since I had received questions about it from a number of people I felt it made sense to write a general response. After I posted my response on this forum, Rabbi Mendlowitz reached out to me by email and we ended up having a respectful and productive email exchange regarding the relevant issues surrounding Ksav Chabad. His position is a lot clearer to me now, and I think he also took certain things on board that I clarified with him. The purpose of the Stam Forum (at least back in it's heyday before all the whats app groups took over) was to connect sofrim from around the world, to promote achdus and build bridges, as well as to offer support and advice. In that spirit, I felt I should write a follow up post, to clarify some of the issues and misconception...
according SA AR no problem to fix.
ReplyDeleteMost poskim do not allow fixing kav masuch. In it is a safek then perhaps there is room to be mekel bedieved by a Lamed. There are other required tikkunim as well and based on all this, I'd consider not using it as the sofer may not know the halachos sufficiently.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the Dalet of velimadetom a question of a Lamed?
