Lefty
I'm looking to teach a lefty Kesiva, what sefer has the strokes clearly written out?
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher
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
I think I saw it once in the back of a new print of keses hasofer. The sefer had a green cover and was medium thickness. I don't have the sefer anymore so I don't know who printed it...
ReplyDeleteIf you can get your hands on כתיבת סת"ם - אומנות הכתיבה ויסודותיה by R' Mordechai Mendelowitz, there's a whole section on writing lefty starting on p. 537 of volume 3. It includes diagrams of how to write the letters.
ReplyDeleteDo you know where this Sefer is available?
ReplyDeleteI bought my copy from the author, but he only had vols 1-2 left, I think. You can try virtualgeula.com, which is a used book finding service in Israel, and I think that the YU library has it as well, if you're in NY.
DeleteI could probably scan the relevant sections next week and e-mail them to you; email me at dovbergerATdovbergerDOTcom and I'll reply with it early next week. (Book's at home and scanner's at the office.)
