התינוק קרא לה' השניה דלי"ת
Rabbi Reuvain Mendlowitz clarifies his position on Ksav Chabad (and my final thoughts)
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...
Is there any kula to permit a correction?
ReplyDeleteI don't think a tinok should've been asked (assuming he was). Now that he has, a posek mumchme should determine what to do.
ReplyDeleteDid the person covering the hei cover it properly?
ReplyDeleteSometimes the tinok does not have a 'good view' of the letter due to how the magiah was covering the bottom part. It could be that the tinok did not see or barely saw the regel. If it would of been covered more exact he would of surely read it correctly.
I am only saying this since it looks obvious if it would of been covered exact, the child would of read it correctly.
אני לא יודע אם בכלל כיסו לתינוק
