kabollah tagin

By -
Hi, just wondering what people do with regard to inconsistent kabollah tagin in tefillin and mezuzos that they check. My policy in the past (based on my shimush) was not to correct them (many sofrim vary slightly) unless the discrepancy was very blatant. But I see some sofrim scratch and add and make a real big deal of it.

    With the Shimmusha Rabba tagin, I find that even the tikkunim are inconsistent on one tikkun from the shel yad to the shel rosh. That bothers me incredibly. You can't expect the sofrim to be consistent when the tikkunim they are copying from are not!

      Agreed. Even meyuchsdike parshiyos in Chabad (one group) there are so many differences.

      However it is still important to fix if they are disconnected, because it may be a shaolio of an extra vov, as by any tag with a rosh that is not connected to the os

      Just out of curiosity, which tagin are generally made in Chabad? Shimusha Rabba/Rambam/Tikkun Tfillin? Arizal/Matzas Shimurim?

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always  מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך  . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?

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
