נגיעה של יו"ד לכ"ף פשוטה
יש פוסלים דבר זה משום שנעשה מעין צד"י פשוטה. לענ"ד זה כשר, ומותר להפריד.
כמובן ראוי לשאול תינוק, וכאשר תינוק יקראם כדין - בודאי כשרות.
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.
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...
If this would be a Tzadik P'shuta, would it be Kosher?
ReplyDeleteEven if it would be... on which sources do you base the assumption that its a two way street?
DeleteIs there such a thing as one Tzura being kosher as two different Osios?
Delete(When I say "kosher", I mean regarding the Tzura, not Mukaf Gvil considerations.)
I just want to point out: your original assumption has logic in it.
DeleteYour question now too is logical.
My question is: on which SOURCES do you base your assumptions:)
Things in Halacha and in this field especially do not always follow the organic logic that we come up with.
The Yerushalmi in Berachos which discusses a nun and a vov touching is a prime example of a case in which it might have been acceptable as a teis - were it meant to be a teis - but can be scraped apart - were it not meant to be a teis.
One who learns the Shut of Acharonim will find such patterns in numerous places:)
Please tell me where this Yerushalmi Brachos is ...

ReplyDeleteyes see mahrshag (its one of the first simamim) when chaf is close enough to vav it can be used as chaf vav or corrected to be used as mem. he brings a similar situation with a line in the lungs that must have 5 compartments can be counted either way
