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
The rule is that if the inside is an upside down V and the top of the V is pointy ie the two raglayim are touching each other at that point without any gug (to square off the top of the V)then it is a shinuy tzurah. So I was instructed by Rav Friedlander. Thefefore this case its hard to be machshir.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Reb Moshe would like to pasken
Someone showed in the book mishnas hasofer page tzatik alef a yalkut sofer at the end that he is machshir
ReplyDeleteany feedback would be appreciated in yalkut he seems to be medameh a top part of a letter to a bottom one i wonder what was rabbi friedlanders moker to be machmir i even think in this case there is a part which goes a little bit on a lesser slant
ReplyDeleteworse case you can still go back from end of Shma and be megarrer until the tav assuming you did not write the next parsha of vehaya. Theres no shem HaShem. Are these rabbenu tam ? To me the tsurah is still a tav.
ReplyDeletethese are rabeinu tam already wrote vehaya
ReplyDeleteI think it must be shown to a posek
