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

ReplyDeleteלא יודע. זה שאלה שקיבלתי, וזה מה ששלחו לי
ReplyDeleteIt's a very nice ksav. Which makes it even stranger because it looks deliberate
ReplyDeleteFrom Rabbi Askotzky:
ReplyDeleteHarav Yaakov Meir Stern is machshir (same by Samech) as is Harav Mualem (Yeriot Shlomo). I believe the Shevet Halevi pasels by a Samech because of chaser aiver and the same would apply here.
Thanks R' Eli for posting for me while I had issues with posting comments.
ReplyDeleteIt's likely deliberate. The sofer has an artistic hand and either knowing Rav Mualem's psak or not realizing it's a shailah took the liberty of artistic license with what he knew/though to be within the confines of halachah. It's certainly not appropriate but as per my previous comment, there's upon whom to rely to machshir.
