Tikkun for Yud in an Azkara
this yud in the Shem needs an oketz but first-- does it have proper tzura to make the tikkun in a mezuzah?
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
מותר לתקנה יש בה צורת יו"ד, רק חסר בה עוקץ שמאל של ר"ת
ReplyDeleteI concur. There are those who feel strongly that if the regel does not have a kulmus It's a psul in the tzurah. They envoke the opinion of the Daas Kedoshim who makes such a diyuk in the Alfa Beita.
ReplyDeleteI completely disagree as does Rav Weiner in his sefer as well as others.
I would recommend extending the regel a drop first to avoid any possibility of the uketz which you will add in being the same length as regel.
also, a tip: it looks like the ink is to watery. Let it thicken a bit.
DeletePesach is this your ksav? Kol hakavod, it's looking better and better
DeleteAs mentioned, the only issue is the lack of the oketz R"T. Theoretically the short regel could be left as is but to not risk a psul and while at it, to be yotzeh the Mikdash Me'at, extend the regel slightly then add the oketz.
