How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

Klaff Tanning question:
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.
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
The mezuzot are properly placed.
ReplyDeleteI believe (from how I see the first picture) that the mezuzah is placed in the wrong place. If there should altogether be one it should be on the pillar where one would pass through that they could touch with their hand.
ReplyDeleteIn the second picture, there is room to exempt from mezuzah, since this pillar structure is an achsadra. Still, many are stringent to affix on the outer pillar, since it is an achsadra leading into the house.
נראה לי שבתמונה ראשונה פטורה לגמרי ממזוזה. ובתמונה השניה היא קבועה נכון.
ReplyDeletepicture1: does it depend if the short wall is 10 טפחים tall?
Deletepicture2: Is there a chumra to put another mezuza on the בית שער
בתמונה א. אם היו גובה הקירות הקטנות עשרה טפחים יש מקום לדון להחמיר לקבוע מזוזה.
Deleteזה לא בית שער או אכסדרה, כי אין לו קירות כלל מהצדדים, אלא רק עמודים בלבד, והעיקר שאינו משרת כלום
