Alef top yud kind of higher than lower

Kosher bedieved as is? Needs to be fixed? Considered mehudar after fixing?
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...
add diyo to the regel of the yud elyona. Still can be considered mehudar (no reason to inform the client).
ReplyDeleteAdd to both roglayim of both yudin on opposite sides it should do the trick
ReplyDeleteTo clarify, it is kosher as is but you should add (thicken) to the left side of the lower regel and add to the right side of the upper regel
