Reish / yud shailo in Gett

By -
The reish from "Geoffrey" . The Gett was already written and sent with a shliach, and the shailo noticed by the receiving Beis Din. So it cannot be fixed...
Does it need to be rewritten?

    By writing "DeMitkarei Geoffrey" this name has the same status as the SHEM IKAR - The Get must be re-written due to the misspelling. see EVEN HAEZER 129

      The tinok said it's a big yud and then a little yud. But since the "reish" follows a pay (and ayin) which extend lower than other letters, the child was likely thrown off by that. I suggested the beis Din cover those letters but they said it's such a problematic tzurah they are going to rewrite the get rather tha make a "tinok circus" as 1)the husband was willing and 2) they are dealing with a chshash issue kores and there is no reason to look for leniency due to 1) above...

    The Beis Din is absolutely right--without a "glatt kosher" shalas tinok, חלילה להקל בזה שלא במקום עיגון

    Yes, I know even by Sta"m Rav Friedlander differentiates between shailos tinok lekulah and shailos tinok lechumrah.

    If it's not a "glatt" shailos tinok he may only be machshir bedieved

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...
