Sholom uvrocho,
I wanted to ask about the following Torah.
Please see picture below.

Did you see anything like that?

    Reb Aharon, pasul because of tight words or because of Lamed and Hei or because of both? Could you please point me to Halachos on this?

      Primarily because in many cases the words are so close together that if they were supposed to be one word, it would be kosher.

      Thank you, Rabbi Levin, for your Chizuk toward learning Shulchan Aruch.

      Very nice and intelligent סברא.

      However I'm sorry that in the code of Jewish law there's no such פסול.

      אורח חיים ל"ב ל"ב:
      וצריך להניח בין כל תיבה ותיבה כמלא אות, וכן בין השיטים כמלא שיטה, ובין כל אות כמלא חוט השערה, כמו בס"ת.

      משנה ברורה שם קמג - אות קטנה שהוא יו"ד, ובדיעבד אין לפסול אלא אם כן נראית כתיבה אחת לתינוק

      יורה דעה רע"ד ד

      ויהיה בין תיבה לתיבה כמלא אות קטנה, ולא יקרבם ביותר שלא יהיה שתי תיבות נראות כאחת. ואם שינה, שהרחיק בין האותיות עד שהתיבה נראית כשתים, או שקירב שתי תיבות עד שנראות כאחת, פסול

      Thank you,
      See also ט"ז there.

      So we see, that we can not פסל based on our calculated measurement.

      Rather, it's judged by the way it actually appears to be read.

      And to be pointed out,
      The accuracy and experty of this Sofer, that his spacing between words are always more than between the rest of his letters.

    Any opinions on these?

    The story of this Torah has a continuation.
    Rav Greenfeld שליטה said not to use this Torah, it is written by שייגעץ.

    Any information regarding this will be greatly appreciated.

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
