2 Mezuzahs, same problem - Mistake or another minhag

By -
I was given 2 Mezuzahs from one client to inspect both Uvishearechas finish at end of the line.

I was wondering if maybe theres a shita that holds a minhag to do this other than Shitas HoRambam where a parsha ends as a parsha psucha with under 9 yudin.  Its been a long time since I learned Keset Hasofer.

Can anyone share if you've ever encountered such an issue and are these Kosher lechatchila or B'Dieved?

    These mezuzos are kosher lechatchillah and such is the way the stumah is done in many sefardi mezuzos and parshiyos.

    so long as there are 9 large letters at the beginning of the "vehaya" paragraph of course!

    someone who hasn't learned Keses in a long time should not be dealing in sta"m! and definitely not checking!

    As long as there are 9 letters at the beginning, it's fine.(Rambam) 9 Yuds/vavs is also lechatchila. (Many sofrim don't make 9 osios gedolos in a mezuzah)

    The Mishmeres STaM requires one to know the MB and only 3 perakim of the Keses to be a capable sofer.

    To check, the Keses (and the Mishna Brura) are insufficient. In fact, book learning only is insufficient.

    I added the part about 9 large letters because I mentioned parshiyos (tefillin). Definitely need that in tefillin for sfardim

    Yasher Koach Zev M, will take to heart and likely time for a full chazarah... The real problem is those magihim/ sofrim who dont even ask...

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
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
