Special Megillah tikkunim

By -
Hello all,
Does anyone have a tikkun for a 28-line Megillat Ester without the 10 B'nei Haman in their own 'amud?

In other words, a tikkun which conforms to the Chassam Sofer's p'sak (the Gr"a may be interpreted this way as well)

    That is exactly what the Gaon says, not merely an interpretation (so long as the Aseres Bnei Haman are at the bottom of the amud). You could try or.lasofer1@gmail.com

      Most of the Gr"a megillot I've seen are 11 lines, so that the b'nei Haman still get their own 'amud.

      On the other hand, the p'sak I received from R' Hamburger שליט”א does not specify a placement within the 'amud for them.

      The 11-line is just an attempt to fulfill both the opinion of the Gra that the 10 Bnei Haman should be written with the same size letters as well as the common practice that the 10 Bnei Haman get their own column. The Gra himself had a Megillah that had (many?) more than 11 lines per column, with the 10 Bnei Haman at the bottom of the column in which they happened to be, as R' Avi said. According to other opinions the 10 Bnei Haman should be at the top of the column, and according to others, as you say, it doesn't matter where in the column they are.

      I don't recall an opinion that it can be anywhere on the column

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...
