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).

Sounds like a practical joke to me, but there's nothing funny about it.

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.
3) The klaf today is more refined and smooth, easier to write on. Not uneven and rough like the old days. I'm sure lots of "mei klaf" is added. This enhances writing speed and quality of writing.
4) Double sirtut. Again this enhances quality and neatness.

The rule is that if the inside is an upside down V and the top of the V is pointy ie the two raglayim are touching each other at that point without any gug (to square off the top of the V)then it is a shinuy tzurah. So I was instructed by Rav Friedlander. Thefefore this case its hard to be machshir.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Reb Moshe would like to pasken
Someone showed in the book mishnas hasofer page tzatik alef a yalkut sofer at the end that he is machshir
ReplyDeleteany feedback would be appreciated in yalkut he seems to be medameh a top part of a letter to a bottom one i wonder what was rabbi friedlanders moker to be machmir i even think in this case there is a part which goes a little bit on a lesser slant
ReplyDeleteworse case you can still go back from end of Shma and be megarrer until the tav assuming you did not write the next parsha of vehaya. Theres no shem HaShem. Are these rabbenu tam ? To me the tsurah is still a tav.
ReplyDeletethese are rabeinu tam already wrote vehaya
ReplyDeleteI think it must be shown to a posek
