Safrus equipment in the US

Fellow sofrim!

Where do sofrim in the US get standard equipment?
I have some US talmidim, and don't want to have to mail them things...

    The ones likely are Bais Hastam, email Rabbi Traube thesofer@yahoo.com or machon stam might have www.machonstam.com

    Lishkas Hasofer in Monsey carries some supplies. Additionally, I heard about a little "hole-in-the-wall" in Kiryas Yoel and I once ventured out there with a friend and it was the size of a large closet, but packed with interesting and useful supplies and trinkets. I believe it was called Tzorchei ST"aM, but I do not have their contact info on hand. They are also the only place in America that I have seen that carries Eida giddin. If you don't have time to take a trip to KJ, I know of a chashuve sofer in Manhattan who for years has been having them ship him giddin, etc.

Klaff Tanning question:

By -
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.

Rabbi Reuvain Mendlowitz clarifies his position on Ksav Chabad (and my final thoughts)

By -
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...
