Siyum Sefer Torah

By -
My Yeshiva had dedicated a new Sefer Torah in memory of Rabbi Sam Menlo (Of Blessed Memory) a major founder of the yeshiva.

One of my Rabbeim asked if I wanted to fill in a letter for the event and I asked my friend there to take a video of me filling in the letter. 

I was so nervous I accidentally said "Kosev" instead of "Kotev" (Although does not make a difference after the fact)

    Looks good. Interesting that hes finishing without the eitz chayim attached. Does everyone wait for itvto be sewn before starting the parade?

      Interesting...

      Could it be that today it is relatively standard practice for people sew on the atzei chayim before finishing the last letters because the sefer is considered halachically complete even with unfilled osiyos challolos?

      Could it be that today it is relatively standard practice, that the one actually making the Siyum doesn't know how to sew it? 😉

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always  מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך  . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?

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
