Vikaftor Tachas Shnei Hakanim Mimenah
From an old Sefer Torah I was fixing something in.
No, it's not a typo, it's just an interesting way of writing these repeating words.
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

Not a "khaf"
This gave me a "Safrut smile"... OK, I realise that this is not Ktav STaM, however it is interesting what happens when graphic/font Hebrew becomes too stylised. Case-in-point, a colleague and I were visiting the mayor's office in the Gaza Belt region of Shaar HaNegev (adjoining Sderot). He is new to reading Hebrew and pronounced the welcome sign as " brooning " or " broobing " (instead of the intended " brookhim ". I replied that he was more correct than the graphic designer, as the letter meant to be a " khaf " was closer to a halakhic "Nun" or "Bet", and had this been Ktav STaM, the letter would likely be considered pasul as a "Khaf".
תיבה מיותרת במזוזה
תיבה יתירה בסת"ם פוסלת. ולא מועיל כאן גרירת היתר, כי ישאר שיעור ט' אותיות [קטנות עכ"פ] והוא שיעור ריוח פרשה סתומה באמצע הפרשה. ועל כן צריכה המזוזה הזאת גניזה. דרך אגב: ככל הנראה המזוזה הזאת לא עברה הגהה כלל !!! (קשה לי להניח שמגיה לא ישים לב לדבר כזה)
Very nice - thanks for posting. I have seen this in Sifrey I have checked too. In fact there are several interesting 'layouts' around the 'ervat' section, 'arur' section and other places that are no longer in the standard tikkun which I think is a bit of a shame. Though of course it does often involve stretching letters a fair amount which whilst fine is often frowned upon (e.g. Rambam who wasn't happy with vavey ha-amudim sifrey when they first came along because sofrim often stretched letters to much to accommodate it).
ReplyDeleteI have a hard enough time not repeating those words too many times during leining as it is. To use amazon parlance, novelty value -- would not read.
