Bizarre! Mezuzah found written in כתב העברי הקדום
Does anyone know the story of this "mezuzah"? Pictures if it are circulating, with people saying it was found on someone's house (even though in the picture it looks like it has never been rolled).

Commercially Viable
This video shows a sofer writing a sefer Torah. This sofer has a good hand, writes at a nice pace, and can ask a decent price. But one can also tell how the sefer Torah industry has commercialised the process, allowing for better productivity.
Note the following:
1) The sofer is writing on a light table, which means he does not have to worry about planning the spacing and can just trace over the letters. This saves a lot of time. This also minimises mistakes and saves time of repairs.
2) The quill is a plastic kulmos with a repository, which means you need to dip it into the ink every few lines instead of every few letters. Also you do not need to sharpen it and make new quills. Both of these save time.

all the nuns are kosher, the only one that its gag is to long is האמנתם
ReplyDeletebut even that one bdieved seems to be kosher (I dont know if there is a possibility to fix it)
If the gag of the nun of hemantem is extended in the back to the right side too much, why not just enlarge the back of the nun by widening it a little?
ReplyDeletei do that, sometimes together with extending the moshav a bit on th eleft
ReplyDeleteI would find out
ReplyDelete1)if the sofer has kabala
2) if the metayeg has kabala and what type of ink he used since it is clear the tagim were done later by some other fellow
