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...
I've been looking for years - never successful.
ReplyDeleteIf you find it anywhere please let me know! I'll do the same...
I got my copy via virtualgeula.com, which hunted it down for me. Cost around $100 US, I think.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I want a copy of zichron eliyahu. I found the 2 volume version of תפלה למשה also very good.
ReplyDeleteWhile Tefillah Lemoshe (just one of his works on tefillin) is very detailed and broad, it's not intended as halachah lemaaseh while Zichron Eliyahu is, at least according to Rav Elyashiv (unless stated otherwise).
ReplyDeleteI've heard that they're working on a Zichron Eliyahu 2.0.
ReplyDeleteA few ZE kuntresim were put out - one specifically on Shins and R' Gitman's son put out another one, which I haven't seen.
