This gave me a "Safrut smile"... OK, I realise that this is not Ktav STaM, however it is interesting what happens when graphic/font Hebrew becomes too stylised. Case-in-point, a colleague and I were visiting the mayor's office in the Gaza Belt region of Shaar HaNegev (adjoining Sderot). He is new to reading Hebrew and pronounced the welcome sign as " brooning " or " broobing " (instead of the intended " brookhim ". I replied that he was more correct than the graphic designer, as the letter meant to be a " khaf " was closer to a halakhic "Nun" or "Bet", and had this been Ktav STaM, the letter would likely be considered pasul as a "Khaf".

ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite pricey! My local purchased brushes that everyone here uses cost far less and last for many years.
Is there a particular type of hair that's recommended and at a more reasonable price point?
R' Moshe Ber, I assume you're a son of R' Zirkind z"l? I saw something in your father's name in Kovetz Etz Chaim Bobov and spoke to the person who quoted it and he suggested I speak to the son who worked with R' Zirkind z"l making retzuos. if I can confirm it's accuracy I'd be happy to share it on the forum. Can you kindly email me at sofer@stam.net?
