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
The different ways of forming the"Hefsek Parshas Stuma" in tefillin parshiyos.
Following Ari's post, I have cut and pasted an article I wrote for a local publication some time ago on this very issue. I think it sums up this issue and the various shittos. I also suggest Rav Yonason Hershlags kuntres on this topic called "stumah shebestam". The different ways of forming the"Hefsek Parshas Stuma" in tefillin parshiyos. Introduction There is a common misconception that the only difference between the different minhagim (customs) of tefillin parshiyos is the ksav (font) they are written in. For example if a person is Sephardic, the ksav will be "Vellish", a script that is unique to Sephardic Jews; If one is of traditional Ashkenazic and non-Chassidic background, then he would usually get the "Beis Yosef" script; If one is "Chassidic", he would get the "Arizal" script, etc. While this is correct, there are also different opinions and minhagim on how to make the spacing between the parshiyos of th
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.
