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).
Someone else said they saw it for sale in a Judaica shop.
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.
5) The tagin / …

Kosher tzurah
ReplyDeletefirst we must know if the thin head was made later by a tagimmaker or was there originally.
ReplyDeletesecond we need cllarification in אין שיעור לעובי האותיות
a beis with thin tag is kosher but with thick tag can be a lamed.
how about lamed with regular body and very thin vav on top that looks like chaf with kotz?
perhaps the machlokes avnei nezer and mikdas me-at by hay of shem al pi kabala that has kotz and may look like koof if thicker
maybe reb moshe can clarify the אין שיעור לעובי אותיות
You can generally tell if something was made by a metayeg since most metaygim use rapidograph ink which is matte and which contrasts the regular ink. Its easy for dovid to see in good light. However to me it does not look like the type of thing a metayeg would have done, as a matter of fact it looks like the sofer himself made the tagin on this nun, perhaps because of the precariousness of the situation.
Deletejust looked again and the second beis is also problamatic-rav stern is machshir bdieved (top and bottom strokes meet on the inside)
ReplyDeleteI missed these posts while away. The nun and beis look fine to me.
