shin in "Alter Rebbe" script
Both the Shulchan Aruch Harav and the Mishnah Brurah use similar terminology when describing the importance of the shin being "pointy" on the bottom and all three branches of the letter shin meeting at a point or "chad" at the bottom of the letter. There is a strong foundation in Halacha for this and for the bottom of the shin to be flat like a moshav (base) is considered questionable (Pri Megadim) and definitely not Kosher Lechatchillah. It is worse if the moshav is very wide, but it is still questionable if it is lechatchillah if there is a thick noticeable base rather than a chad. Even for Sephardim, who lechatchillah make an angular base, it is still important that the base is indeed on a (significant) angle. If the base is flat, even if all three branches of the shin come out of the base connected , as in the top picture, it is problematic. It is worse in the bottom picture below where the right head/ branch comes out of the right part of the base and the m
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.
Yes ideally should have space but not sure if it needs correcting
ReplyDeleteThe "Hei" should be LARGE and written separate from the Shem. This is the consensus of our Gedolei Yisrael. Please see Minchat Shai, Ramah (R. Meir ha-Levy ben Todros Abulafia), and the Keter Aram Zovah.
ReplyDeleteIn order to correct it, the left edge of the "Hei" may be scraped slightly in order to reduce its width and separate it from the Shem.
The Yemenite Mesorah has no space after the ה, but seeing as this is not a Teimani Sefer Torah it should and can be corrected.
ReplyDeleteThe back of the lamed as well can be erased and rewritten further away from the hei.
ReplyDeletewould seem like the lamed is a better option since its slightly stretched anyway
