    Heshy this "hechsher" has been around for more than a few years, it's an abomination and outright fraud.

    Consumers (via rabbis and the mainstream jewish educational avenues) simply need to be taught that sadly the industry is rife with fraud, many of the shopkeepers have no idea what they are buying or selling, and the only way to be sure you are buying something kosher is to purchase from a reliable and ordained sofer / magiha who HAS CHECKED THE ITEM HIMSELF.

    These mezuahs are b'chezkas psul. This "hechsher" has been around for decades. The Rabbanut, Edah, Misheres STaM and the like are the ones to inform the public and try and stop this.

    I believe I discuss this type of "hechsher" in my book and may even have pictures. I also made a poster titled "frauds and scribbles" to share when I do a campaign, showing samples of these so called hechsherim and samples of the "ksav".

    I think these are old mezuzos.
    Many were packaged by a bearded jew in Boro park

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
