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
forgive me for asking: what are "פצפונים"?
ReplyDeleteSmall tefillin, Batim size approximately 22-24mm.
DeleteAs airlines become stricter with hand luggage regulations (such as weight), I find that I have received an increase in Pitzponim orders and inquiries. I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice an increase in this trend. While most sofrim who can write miniature mehudar ksav charge a fortune, I currently have a sofer with a mehudar (mamash) ksav that is very well priced that I use for these orders. However he does not write with D.L.
ReplyDeleteHow much is well-priced? Would he be willing to try for a bit extra?
DeleteHe takes about $450 for parshiyos but they are worth more. $450 would be the wholesale price for the ksav in normal size, but these are like the ksav of a 6cm mezuzah
DeleteDo you have his contact info and dugmaos?
DeleteA gutte voch.
DeletePlease email me: melbournesofer@gmail.com
Try calling this guy in Israel. He is an expert sofer and he writes with Dio Lanetzach.

I spoke to him. I want dio lanetzach on klaf me'uppatz and he just wrote for a friend of mine and had trouble with it, so he said he is not interested in trying again.
