shin in "Alter Rebbe" script
Both the Shulchan Aruch Harav and the Mishnah Brurah use similar terminology when describing the importance of the shin being "pointy" on the bottom and all three branches of the letter shin meeting at a point or "chad" at the bottom of the letter. There is a strong foundation in Halacha for this and for the bottom of the shin to be flat like a moshav (base) is considered questionable (Pri Megadim) and definitely not Kosher Lechatchillah. It is worse if the moshav is very wide, but it is still questionable if it is lechatchillah if there is a thick noticeable base rather than a chad. Even for Sephardim, who lechatchillah make an angular base, it is still important that the base is indeed on a (significant) angle. If the base is flat, even if all three branches of the shin come out of the base connected , as in the top picture, it is problematic. It is worse in the bottom picture below where the right head/ branch comes out of the right part of the base and the m
The different ways of forming the"Hefsek Parshas Stuma" in tefillin parshiyos.
Following Ari's post, I have cut and pasted an article I wrote for a local publication some time ago on this very issue. I think it sums up this issue and the various shittos. I also suggest Rav Yonason Hershlags kuntres on this topic called "stumah shebestam". The different ways of forming the"Hefsek Parshas Stuma" in tefillin parshiyos. Introduction There is a common misconception that the only difference between the different minhagim (customs) of tefillin parshiyos is the ksav (font) they are written in. For example if a person is Sephardic, the ksav will be "Vellish", a script that is unique to Sephardic Jews; If one is of traditional Ashkenazic and non-Chassidic background, then he would usually get the "Beis Yosef" script; If one is "Chassidic", he would get the "Arizal" script, etc. While this is correct, there are also different opinions and minhagim on how to make the spacing between the parshiyos of th
gilyon 2 etzba(4 cm r' chaim noe) on top 3 etzba(6cmr' chaim noe )on bottom according to keset= total 10 cm gilyon,now gilyon may not be more than the ksav-usually 10 mm lines*11 lines should do-however gilyon might be counted from end of most letters not fro end of sirtut therefore you may want to do 11 mm a line.
ReplyDeleteto be more machmir you can use shiur chazon ish and-or not accept keset 2and 3 etzbaot rather do 3 and 4 etzbaot.
biggest chumra will give you 7 etzba * 2.4 cm=16/8 cm not to have above safek of where gilyon starts you do 1.8 mm a line =total megila size is 36 cm.
the klafmachers that leave less is because they go according to the shita that these shiurim are for sefer thats ama tall and as the sefer gets smaller the margins get smaller in proportion
One question, when you say the end of most letters, are you referring to the lamed at the top and chaf sofis at the bottom?
