By -
I have heard that the OK will soon be giving a hechsher on Tefillin, Mezuzos and Sifrei Torah...

Has anyone else heard of this?

Update : Someone sent me this. Seems INDEED this is the case. See below.

    many organizations have tried this.The reason it didn't work is that on low quality stuff as many hagahot as you make a psul will be found in a small percent.
    high qhality stuff doesnt need his hechsher.
    the vaad tried giving hechsher on mehadrin stuff only however price was upped by 20 percent.

    Correct. But the concept is generating much interest. I am in the middle of writing an article about this and will post shortly

We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך .

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
