שאלות על ממי"ם

המ"ם סתומה בשורה התחתונה עגולה למטה משתי צידיה:
לדעת המקדש מעט היא פסולה, כי חסר בה עיקר צורת המ"ם, שצ"ל מרובעת, וזו אינה מרובעת בפינותיה. אמנם, לדעת שו"ע אדמו"ר הזקן [סי' לו את מ' פתוחה] מוכח שעיקר צורתה אינה בפינותיה לבדן, אלא בכללות צורת גופה. ולכן דין מ"ם זו שאלת תינוק. ואם יקראנה התינוק מ"ם, יש לתקן את פינותיה.

מושב המ"ם צ"ל שטוחה ישרה, ולא עקומה. מ"מ בדיעבד, נראה שכל שתינוק מכירה עדיין כשרה.

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
