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
Harav Meir Mazuz allows writing a name on the bottom of the batim and/on the end of the back side of the retzuos (as long as the lettering isn’t raised). (Mekor Ne’eman 66 and 70)
ReplyDeleteAny other mekoros?
מלאכת שמים
ReplyDeleteThanks. Do you know where in the Meleches shamayim?
DeleteSee last paragraph in the בינה, סימן יט
Deletethank you! Interesting that it's not mentioned in any of the sources I note. Did you see any sources who bring this Meleches Shamayim?
DeleteThe only other 2 sources I've found are Zichron Eliyahu pages 365-366, based on Rama Mipano siman 38, not to write on back of batim and possibly not on back of retzuos
ReplyDeleteShu"t Shevet Hakehati 2:28 seems to okay writing on the back of the retzuos. Interestingly, Piskei Teshuvos presents this as a source to allow writing on the bottom of batim and retzuos but in his latest printing he leaves it out and writes not to write anything on the back, though he doesn't really bring a source to support it.
Keses Hasofer 26:4. Also based on Rama Mipano.
