2 things:
1) For those who think they've seen it all. check out this tzadi from an old sefer Torah brought to me today. they were all like this! 2) A question for reb moshe: I had a pair of tefillin for checking today where the parsha of the vehoya im shemoah of the rosh was different to the rest of the ksav. while i see this often, my first impression was that it looked older than the other parshiyos. I have no way of knowing for certain and the tefillin were purchased from what is a reputable establishment in NY. Should i be concerned or just rely on the chazoka of the tefillin, and leave it?
