Anyone familiar with these batim?
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

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.

Rabbi Moshe Shaul Klein is "the" talmid of Harav Wosner Shlita and one of the biggest Rabbanim in our generation (you may decide for yourself if you like his Hechsher). I met Rabbi Yakov Yitzchok Klien in my office at The time of the peeling retzuos scandal on Retzuot under his supervision, personal impression is a small rebbele type yungerman, maximum like a corner shul Rabbi,not a posek.
ReplyDeleteIs there a reason Rabbi Moshe Shaul removed his hechsher?
Someone came to me for guidance when he was considering tefillin via an organization as he was able to get through them at wholesale. They typically assist with basic tefillin for kiruv but he wanted to get a mehudar pair through them. I requested lots of information and when i heard that the batim maker he uses dropped Rav MS klein for the other Rav Klein because "Rav MS klein's hechsher was too expensive" I suggested that this person not get tefillin from this source. I'm also aware of the peeling and the lower standards of the hechsher.
