    I've been given tshuvos in the past that such a tziyor is fixable so long as the churtem is above the moshav of the chof

      I've been given answers in the past that a chof and long vov is ok as a mem provided the connection is up on the top and not low down. But it's probably not a bad idea to ask a shailo anyway since no doubt each case is unique

    I vote Pasul: It's an interesting design but it's not a Mem. More like a kind of Tzadi Sofit.

    Shailos chacham. I wouldn't fix or ask a tinok without first asking a shaila.

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)
