ריוח מיותר במזוזה בין השרטוטים
המשרטט השאיר ריוח גדול בין השרטוטים לפני ובשעריך. האם זה פוסל?
האם זה נידון כריוח פרשה במקום שאינה צריכה?
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...
I once asked this question to Rav Friedlander and he said it was ok so long as he didn't miss a line completely. A gap caused by uneven Sirtut is ok. He said if you can write a letter in normal size between the top of the lamed and the bottom of the letters of the line above, the gap is not a problem. Im nit sure what he based this on but I've always followed it...
ReplyDeleteSorry was supposed to say if you *can't* write a normal sized letter in the space between the yop of the lamedim and the bottom of the letters in the line above. (If you can, it would be a problem and considered potentially an extra line, rather than just uneven sirtut)
